title: Tricycloillicinone, a novel prenylated c6-c3 compound increasing choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) activity, isolated from Illicium tashiroi.
abstract: Tricycloillicinone (1), a novel tricyclic prenylated C6-C3 compound, has been isolated as a neurotrophic substance from the woods of Illicium tashiroi and its structure has been elucidated by spectroscopic analyses. Compound 1 could increase ChAT activity in culture of P10 rat septal neurons.
