Three anthrones from Rubus ulmifolius

Phytochemistry. 2002 Apr;59(8):873-6. doi: 10.1016/s0031-9422(02)00012-2.

Abstract

From the aerial parts of Rubus ulmifolius Schott three new anthrones, rubanthrone A, B and C, have been isolated. Their structures were established by spectral procedures including 1D and 2D NMR techniques and chemical derivatization. Rubanthrone A showed antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus at 4.5 mg/ml.
