Oumarone, bissaone, and aissatone, unusual prenylated polyketides from harrisonia abyssinica

Abstract

Fractionation of the n-hexane extract of the leaves of Harrisonia abyssinica, collected in Guinea, afforded three novel and unusual prenylated polyketides, which were named oumarone (1), bissaone (2), and aissatone (3). Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods, mainly 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy.
