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.
