โฆ Synopsis
The aerial parts of the Chinese medicinal plant Hypericum sampsonii yielded two novel metabolites, sampsoniones A and B, which are characterised by their unique tetracyclo-polyketonic core with benzoyl, 3methyl-2-butenyl and geranyl substituents. Their structures were determined by detailed spectral analysis. Sampsonione A exhibited moderate cytotoxicity to P388 cancer cell line.

Further thorough investigation of the ethanolic extract of the aerial parts of Hypericum sampsonii has yielded sampsoniones K-M which together with the earlier isolated sampsoniones A-J form a unique family of related polyprenylated benzoylphloroglucinol derivatives formed by complex cyclisations of
