Resveratrol derivatives from Upuna borneensis

Abstract

Four new resveratrol derivatives, upunaphenols B (1), C (4), D (5) (resveratrol tetramer) and E (6, resveratrol dimer with a C6-C 1 unit), together with nine known resveratrol oligomers and resveratrol were isolated from an acetone soluble part of stem of Upuna borneensis (Dipterocarpaceae). The structures of new compounds were determined by spectral analysis including 1D and 2D NMR experiments. © 2005 Pharmaceutical Society of Japan.
