title: Minor biflavonoids from Lophira alata leaves.
abstract: The leaves of the Cameroonian medicinal plant Lophira alata afforded two new biflavonoids, lophirone L (1) and lophirone M (2), and the known luteolin and lithospermoside. Both biflavonoids were obtained in small quantities, and their structures show some new and unusual biflavonoid diversity.
