title: New 2-arylbenzofurans from the root bark of Artocarpus lakoocha.
abstract: Three new prenylated 2-arylbenzofurans - artolakoochol, 4-hydroxy-artolakoochol and cycloartolakoochol - have been isolated from the root bark of Artocarpus lakoocha Roxb., Their structures were elucidated through analysis of their spectroscopic data, and their antiherpetic potential was evaluated by the plaque reduction assay.
