  • Structure elucidation of the isolated compounds, particularly the new biflavonoid, using spectroscopic methods, primarily 1D and 2D Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.

    • Main Results:

    • Isolation of a new biflavonoid, designated as 2,3-dihydro-4'''-O-methyl amentoflavone.
    • Identification of known biflavonoids: 2,3,2'',3''-tetrahydro hinokiflavone, 2,3,2'',3''-tetrahydro amentoflavone, and 2,3-dihydro amentoflavone.
    • The compounds 2,3,2'',3''-tetrahydro amentoflavone and 2,3-dihydro amentoflavone were reported for the first time in this plant species.
    • The structure of the novel compound was confirmed through comprehensive spectral data analysis.

    Conclusions:

    • The chemical investigation of Cycas beddomei cones led to the discovery of a new biflavonoid.
