Abstract

A new benzofuran derivative, identified as myrrhain A (1), was isolated from the resinous exudates of Commiphora myrrha, together with the four known compounds: commipharane (2), myrrhterpeniod (3), myrrhone (4), and 9-methoxymyrrhone (5). All structures were elucidated by NMR and MS analyses. DPPH assay of compounds 1–5 revealed for the first time that all of them possess moderate antioxidative activity.
