Abstract:
Four new flavonoids, 3,5-dihydroxy-7,8-dimethoxy-3',4'-methylenedioxyflavone (1), 3,5-dihydroxy-7-methoxy-3',4'-methylenedioxyflavone (2), 3,5-dihydroxy-7-isopentenyloxy-8-methoxy-3',4'-methylenedioxyflavone (3) and 5-hydroxy-3-isopentenyloxy-7-methoxy-3',4'-methylenedioxyflavone (4), were isolated from the leaves of Melicope triphylla. In addition, two known flavonoids were detected including 5-hydroxy-3,7-dimethoxy-3',4'-methylenedioxyflavone (5) and 5-hydroxy-7-isopentenyloxy-3,8-dimethoxy-3',4'-methylenedioxyflavone (6). The structures of the new compounds were established by spectroscopic methods.
