Chrysindins A–D, Polyacetylenes from the Flowers of Chrysanthemum indicum

Abstract

Four new polyacetylenes, namely chrysindins A–D (1–4), together with 6 known polyacetylenes, were isolated from the flowers of Chrysanthemum indicum. Their structures were established on the basis of comprehensive spectroscopic analyses. Chrysindins A (1) and B (2) bear a novel carbon skeleton.

Key words

Asteraceae - Chrysanthemum indicum - polyacetylenes - chrysindins A–D
