A new phenolic glycoside, 3,4-dimethoxyphenyl-1-O-beta-d-apiofuranosyl (1-->2)-beta-d-glucopyranoside (1), was isolated from the acetone extract of the Sorocea ilicifolia stem bark, along with the known compounds, 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl-1-O-beta-apiofuranosyl (1-->6)-beta-d-glucopyranoside,
Two new Diels-Alder type adducts, named sorocein L (1) and sorocein M (2), together with the known kuwanon J and mulberrofuran O, were isolated from the methanolic extract of the roots of Sorocea ilicifolia. Sorocein L shows the same substitution pattern of sorocein M and corresponds to its
