Pterosin derivatives from Pteris morii Masamune

The phytochemical investigation of the aerial parts of Pteris morii Masamune led to the isolation of a new pterosin derivative pteririene A (1), together with seven pterosin sesquiterpenes (2–8). Structure elucidation of these compounds were performed on the basis of NMR spectral data and MS. All compounds were isolated from the P. morii for the first time. The chemotaxonomic significance of the isolates was also discussed.
