Abstract

The organic extract of the plant Maclura tinctoria exhibited moderate anti-HIV activity. Seven prenylated phenolic derivatives were isolated from the active fractions and characterized by spectroanalytical methods. New compounds macluraxanthone B (1), macluraxanthone C (2), and dihydrocudraflavone B (8) were identified.
