From the dichloromethane extract of Ulex airensis three new isoflavonoids, ulexin C (1), ulexin D (2), and 7-O-methylisolupalbigenin (3), were isolated and characterized by spectroscopic methods. Ulexin D (2) was also identified from the dichloromethane extract of Ulex europaeus ssp. europaeus. Together with these new metabolites, 18 compounds of previously known structures were isolated and identified from both species. The antifungal activity of these compounds was tested against Cladosporium cucumerinum by a bioautographic TLC assay.

D007529 Isoflavones 3-Phenylchromones. Isomeric form of FLAVONOIDS in which the benzene group is attached to the 3 position of the benzopyran ring instead of the 2 position. 3-Benzylchroman-4-One,3-Benzylidene-4-Chromanone,Homoisoflavone,Homoisoflavones,Isoflavone,Isoflavone Derivative,3-Benzylchroman-4-Ones,3-Benzylidene-4-Chromanones,Isoflavone Derivatives,3 Benzylchroman 4 One,3 Benzylchroman 4 Ones,3 Benzylidene 4 Chromanone,3 Benzylidene 4 Chromanones,Derivative, Isoflavone,Derivatives, Isoflavone
D007887 Fabaceae The large family of plants characterized by pods. Some are edible and some cause LATHYRISM or FAVISM and other forms of poisoning. Other species yield useful materials like gums from ACACIA and various LECTINS like PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS from PHASEOLUS. Many of them harbor NITROGEN FIXATION bacteria on their roots. Many but not all species of "beans" belong to this family.
