โฆ Synopsis
Three chromonocoumarins ( = 6H,7H- [ l]benzopyrano [4.3-6][ l]benzopyran-6,7-diones) 1-3 have been isolated from the leaves and the root bark of Polygala fruticosa BERG. (syn. Polygala oppositifolia L.; Polygalaceae). The structure of frutinone A (1) was established by X-ray diffraction analysis. The structures of the previously undescribed compounds frutinone B (2) and C (3) were deduced by spectroscopic methods (EI-MS, UV, IR, 'Hand I3C-NMR, including NOE and COSY) in comparison with 1. Chromonocoumarins 1-3 are the first representatives of a new type of naturally occurring compounds. Frutinone A shows strong fungicidal activity against Cladosporium cucumerinum.

Homoisoflavones (3-benzylchromones) constitute a new class of natural compounds which were not known until very recently (Tamm, 1972). They appear to be present in some members of the family of Liliaceae, having been eo far isolated from different species of Eucomis' and from Scilla scilloides2.
