Dimeric phenanthrenoids from Juncus acutus.
Two new dimeric phenanthrenoids have been isolated by the methanol extract of rhizomes of Juncus acutus. The structures have been determined on the basis of their spectroscopic properties and by chemical correlation. The compounds showed in vitro phytotoxicity against Selenastrum capricornutum, a microalga used in aquatic tests.
