Unexpected Novel Pheophytin Peroxides from the Leaves of Biden pilosa

Two new pheophytins, bidenphytins A (1) and B (2), with peroxide functionalities on ring E, were isolated from Biden pilosa Linn. var. radiata Sch. Bip., a popular Taiwanese folk medicine. Also isolated were the following six known compounds: pheophytin a (3), (132R)‐132‐hydroxypheophytin a (4), (13...

Summary:Two new pheophytins, bidenphytins A (1) and B (2), with peroxide functionalities on ring E, were isolated from Biden pilosa Linn. var. radiata Sch. Bip., a popular Taiwanese folk medicine. Also isolated were the following six known compounds: pheophytin a (3), (132R)‐132‐hydroxypheophytin a (4), (132S)‐132‐hydroxypheophytin a (5), (132R)‐132‐hydroxypheophytin b (6), (132S)‐132‐hydroxypheophytin b (7), and aristophyll‐C (8). Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods (UV, IR, 1D‐ and 2D‐NMR) and by mass spectrometry (HR‐FAB‐MS). Possible biosynthetic pathways for 1 and 2 are proposed.
