title: A chalcone glycoside from the fruits of Sorbus commixta Hedl.
abstract: Sorbus commixta Hedl. (Rosaceae) has been traditionally used in oriental countries for the treatment of asthma and other bronchial disorders. In this study, a chalcone glycoside was isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of the fruits of this plant. The compound was identified as neosakuranin based on the spectroscopic analysis and comparison with literature data. This is the first report of isolation of neosakuranin from Sorbus commixta.
