The Isolation and Identification of Two Antifungal Pterocarpans from Ulex Europaeus L.

The isolation of two antifungal pterocarpans from the roots of Ulex europaeus L (Leguminosae) is described. The compounds were identified as 3-hydroxy 8,9-methylenedioxypterocarpan(maackiain)and 2-hydroxy-3,4dimethoxy- 8, 9-methylenedioxypterocarpan (2-hydroxy-4-methoxypterocarpin) by spectroscopic...
