title: Molluscicidal Phloroglucinols from the Fern Elaphoglossum piloselloides.
abstract: Two new bicyclic phloroglucinols were isolated from the diethyl ether extract of an Argentine collection of the fern Elaphoglossum piloselloides. Structures were established by analysis of their spectroscopic data ((1)H NMR, HRMS, IR) and chemical derivatization. Both compounds show an acute molluscicidal activity against the schistosomiasis vector snail Biomphalaria peregrina.
