A chemical investigation of the twigs and leaves of Erythrina subumbrans led to the isolation and structural elucidation of three coumaronochromones, erythrinasubumbrin A and (±)-erythrinasubumbrin B, five prenylated flavanones, (±)-erythrinasubumbrin C and erythrinasubumbrins D-F, and two prenylated isoflavones, (±)-5,4'-dihydroxy-[4,5-cis-4-ethoxy-5-hydroxy-6,6-dimethyl-4,5-dihydropyrano (2,3:7,6)]-isoflavone, in addition to 18 known analogues. Two extra cinnamylphenols previously only known as commercial synthetic products were also isolated and elucidated from a natural source for the first time, and assigned the trivial names erythrinasubumbrins G and H. Their structures were characterized by detailed analysis of spectroscopic data, including HRESIMS and 2D NMR.
