Dinklagins A, B and C: three prenylated flavonoids and other constituents from the twigs of Dorstenia dinklagei

Abstract

Three prenylated flavonoids, dinklagins A, B and C identified, respectively, as ( )-6-(3,3-dimethylallyl)-7-hydroxy-6000, 6000-dimethylchromeno-( 40,30,2000,3000)-flavanone, (+)-5,40,500x-trihydroxy-600,600-dimethylchromano-(7,6,200,300)-flavone and (+)6-(2x-hydroxy- 3-methyl-3-butenyl)-5,7,40-trihydroxyflavone were isolated from the twigs of Dorstenia dinklagei together with the known 6-prenylapigenin, 4-hydroxylonchocarpin, stipulin and 5,40-dihydroxy-600,600-dimethylchromano-(7,6,200,300)-flavone. Their structures were determined on the basis of spectral data and by comparison with data reported in the literature and with authentic specimens for known compounds.
