Abstract:
Two new antimicrobial dimethylbenzisochromans were isolated from the roots of Karwinskia humboldtiana together with the known 7-acetyl-6,8-dimethoxy-3-methyl-l-naphthol. The structures and absolute configurations were determined by spectroscopic examination and by chemical transformation to the known quinones eleutherin and 7-methoxyeleutherin.
