✦ Synopsis
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 prenyl groups. The structures of these cage compounds have been elucidated by extensive studies of various spectrometric techniques. The 13 metabolites, some of which are bioactive, are probably biosynthesized from a simple common benzoylphloroglucinol precursor.

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
