Five new phenylbenzofuran-type stilbenoids, stemofurans S-W (1–5), were isolated from underground parts of four Stemona species collected in Thailand and Australia together with the known stemofurans A–C, G, E, J, M, the stilbostemins A–D, F, the stemanthrenes A–D, dihydropinosylvin, pinosylvin, and 4′-methylpinosylvin. The chemical structures of the new compounds were elucidated by 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. In accordance with previous reports all compounds were characterized by C-methylations of the aromatic rings. Stemofurans S (1) and U (3) showed an unusual hydroxylation at position C-4′, a hitherto unknown substitution of Stemona stilbenoids. |
