Abstract:

A new homoprenylated benzochromene, methyl-5,10-dihydroxy-7-methoxy-3-methyl-3-[4-methyl-3-pentenyl]-3H-benzo[f]chromene-9-carboxylate (1), was isolated from the roots of Pentas bussei, collected from Kenya. The structure of this new compound was determined by spectroscopic data interpretation.
