Obtaining and application of some homoisoflavonoids

Abstract

Figure 1 Structure of homoiso flavonoid. Homoisoflavonoids, derivatives of 3-benzylchrom-4-ones, are constitutionally derived from 1,2-diphenylpropane. They comprise a small family of natural polyphenolics related to flavonoids1. Homoisoflavonoids are distributed in many species of the Liliaceae family (Eucomis bicolor,1 Ophiopogon japonicas,2 Muscari racemosum,1,3 Cremastra appendiculata,4 and Veltheimia viridifolia5) and several other plant species (e.g., Dracaena cinnabari6,7 and Caesalpinia sappan8).
