Phytochemical investigation of the whole plants of Gerbera delavayi (Compositae) led to the isolation and identification of 15 compounds, including the new monoterpene-coumarin and the new monoterpene-chromone . Their structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic analyses including 1D- and 2D-NMR experiments and comparison with spectroscopic data of the literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Four new coumarins, 1-4, and two new triterpenes, 5 and 6, along with nine known compounds have been identified from the leaves of Calophyllum inophyllum on the basis of spectroscopic analyses and chemical methods. The structure of apetalolide (7), previously reported from C. apetalum, was revised by means of 2D-NMR, and the absolute configuration of the known compound inophyllum D (8) was established by a modified Mosher's method.
