Three new compounds: 2R,3R-pterosin L 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (1), beta-D-xylopyranosyl(1-->2)-7-O-benzoyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside (2) and 4-O-benzoyl-beta-D-xylo-pyranosyl(1-->2)-7-O-benzoyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside (3), together with nine known compounds, were isolated from the ethyl acetate
Two new C₁₄ pterosin dimers, which are a pair of isomers named as bimutipterosins A (1) and B (2), were isolated from the whole plant of Pteris multifida. Their structures have been elucidated on the basis of NMR and MS data. From a biogenetic point of view, these compounds including a cyclobutane
