The aim of this study was to identify bioactive secondary metabolites from with potential inhibitory effects against HIV and phytochemical study of root barks resulted in the identification of three new biflavonoids (-), along with four known ones (-). Compound (Gerontoisoflavone A) was a single flavonoid present in the rootbark of the plant and was used as a reference. Compound (IC = 0.

The structures and relative configuration of these alkaloids were determined by extensive 1D and 2D NMR, and MS measurements.

The structures of the new compounds were established by detailed spectroscopic studies and mass spectrometry, while known compounds were characterised by direct comparison of their reported NMR data with those found in the literature. All these compounds were the first reported from Rhabdophyllum genus.

The structures of these compounds and their relative configurations were established by 1D and 2D NMR experiments. The methanolic crude extracts of leaves and stem bark of C.
