title: Antiplasmodial isoflavanones from the roots of Sophora mollis.
abstract: Six new prenylated isoflavanones named sophoronols A-F (1-6), together with eight phenolic constituents, were isolated from the roots of Sophora mollis. Their structures and stereochemistry were established by 1D and 2D NMR techniques, especially HMBC and NOESY as well as CD results. Componds 3 and 5 exhibited moderate anitplasmodial activity against the CQS D10 strain of Plasmodium falciparum, with IC(50) values of 12.9 and 12.8 microM, respectively.
