title: Dichotomins J and K, vasodilator cyclic peptides from Stellaria dichotoma.
abstract: Two new cyclic peptides, dichotomins J (1) and K (2), have been isolated from the roots of Stellaria dichotoma, and their structures were elucidated by chemical degradation and extensive 2D NMR methods. Dichotomins J (1) and K (2) showed a moderate vasorelaxant effect on rat aorta.
