title: Sesquiterpene/quinol from a New Zealand liverwort, Riccardia crassa.
abstract: A new sesquiterpene/quinol, with mild cytotoxic and antibacterial activity, has been isolated from a New Zealand collection of the liverwort Riccardia crassa. The structure of this compound, riccardiphenol C [3], was established by nmr spectroscopy. Closely related compounds previously isolated from a Japanese collection of R. crassa were not detected in this collection.
