Abstract:
A new neoflavonoid, named S(+)-3'-hydroxy-4',2,4,5-tetramethoxydalbergiquinol (1), and a new benzofuran, named (2S,3S)-5-hydroxy-6-methoxy-3-methyl-2-(4'-hydroxyphenyl)-2,3dihydrobenzofuran (4), together with two known neoflavonoids, were isolated from the heartwood of Dalbergia melanoxylon. Their structures were elucidated by a combination of spectroscopic methods and comparison with the literature. Compounds 1-4 were evaluated for inhibitory activity against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Escherichia coli ATCC 6538, Salmonella enteri CMCC 50041 and Candida albicans ATCC 289065, which all exhibited inactive or weak activity.
