Notes:
The crude petroleum-ether extract of the root bark of Hypericum revolutum VAHL (Guttiferae) exhibited in vitro growth-inhibitory activity against the Co-115 human colon carcinoma cell line. Activity-guided fractionation of this extract resulted in the isolation of two new hyperforin derivatives 1 and 2. The structure of 1 (hyperevolutin A) was established by X-ray analysis as the 4-hydroxy-8-exo-methyl-5,7-exo-bis(3-methylbut-2-enyl)-1-(2-methyl-1-oxopropyl)-8-endo-(4-methylpent-3-enyl)bicyclo[3.3.1]non-3-ene-2,9-dione. The structure of the homologue 2 was deduced by comparison of its UV and 1H- and 13C-NMR spectra with those of 1.
