Abstract

Two new isoflavones, 7-hydroxy-6,3′,4′,5′-tetramethoxy-isoflavone (1) and 6-hydroxy-7,3′,4′,5′-tetramethoxy-isoflavone (2), together with seven known isoflavones were isolated from the roots and stems of Nicotiana tabacum. Their structures were determined by means of HRESIMS, extensive 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic studies and chemical evidences. The anti-tobacco mosaic virus (anti-TMV) activities of the isoflavones were also evaluated. The results reveal that compound 9 shows high anti-TMV activity, compound 2 shows moderate anti-TMV activity, and compounds 1, 3–8 show weak anti-TMV activities.
