Biflavonoids inHypericum perforatum1; Part 1. Isolation of I3, II8-Biapigenin

Abstract
From the Soxhlet extract of Hypericum perforatum, biflavonoids have been isolated by column chromatography on Sephadex LH 20 and preparative TLC. The structure of the main compound was elucidated by UV-, 1H- and 13C-NMR spectroscopy and MS as I3,II8-Biapigenin.
