Abstract

Two new meroterpenoids, yojironins A (1) and B (2), were isolated from the whole plants of Hypericum yojiroanum, together with two new prenylated acylphloroglucinols, yojironins C (3) and D (4). Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic data. Yojironins A (1) and B (2) are biogenetically unique meroterpenoids, which seem to be composed of two acetate units with a 2-methylbutanoyl group and three isoprene units. Yojironin A (1) exhibited antimicrobial activity.
