Abstract

Investigation of the roots of Lotus polyphyllos Clarke resulted in the isolation of two new isoflavone derivatives; 4'-O-methylerythrinin C (3) and 4'-O-methyl-2''-hydroxydihydroalpinumisoflavone (4). In addition, the three known isoflavone derivatives 4'-O-methylalpinumisoflavone (1) lupinalbin F (5), 4',7-dimethoxy-5-hydroxyisoflavone (6), and the phenylpropanoid ester tetracosyl p-coumarate (2) were also identified. The structures were determined from spectroscopic data.
