title: Retrodihydrochalcones from Dracaena loureiri.
abstract: The first four members of a new class of natural products, the retrodihydrochalcones, have been isolated from the leaves of Dracaena loureiri. The structures of the loureirins 1-4 were elucidated through interpretation of their spectroscopic data, with particular use being made of the selective INEPT nmr technique.
