Isolation and characterisation of bioactive isoflavonoids from the roots of Dalbergia horrida.
The roots of Dalbergia horrida yielded two new isoflavanones, Dalhorridin (I) - 5,5'-dihydroxy-3',4'-methylenedioxy-5''-prenyl-6'',6''-dimethyl-dihydropyrano(2'',3'' : 7,8)-isoflavanone and Dalhorridinin (II) - 5,7,5'-trihydroxy-3',4'-methylenedioxy-8-[5-methyl-2-(2-hydroxyisopropyl)-1,4-hexadienyl]isoflavanone along with two known isoflavones, Dalspinin and Dalspinosin. Preliminary biological screening of the enriched extract revealed that it showed analgesic, anti-inflammatory, CNS depressant and mild anti-bacterial properties.
