โฆ Synopsis
Extracts of immature seeds of Lupinus found to possess biological activities luteus have been similar to the gibberellins (l-4). It was suggested from the chromatographic behavior and the characteristics of infrared spectra that the active principles were different from Cl9 gibberellins (5). We wish to report the isolation of a new gibberellin, "Lupinus gibberellin-I", from the seeds, and to propose the structure shown as I for the gibberellin. The method of isolation followed that of MacMillan et al. (6). The fraction eluted from the charcoal-celite column with water containing 59-62 96 acetone was rechromatographed on silica-celite. Elution with 50-55 % ethyl acetate in chloroform yielded 35 mg. of Lupinus gibberellin, (Ll), from 60 kg. of the seeds. Ll' (I), which formed needles from acetone, m.p. 240-242 O, gave elementary analysis
