One new prenyl flavanone (), (2)-8-prenyl-5,6-dihydroxy-7-methoxyflavanone, and one new diarylbutanol (), (7')-3'-hydroxy-linderagatin-A, were isolated from the stem bark of (Annonaceae), along with five known compounds, eriodictyol (), quercetin (), paprazine (), --caffeoyltyramine (), and --feruloyltyramine (). Their structures were determined through extensive spectroscopic analyses and comparison with the literature. The -glucosidase inhibitory potential of was evaluated.

The structures of these compounds were accomplished using comprehensive spectroscopic methods, including 1D and 2D NMR spectra with references to the literatures, as well as high-resolution mass spectrometric analysis. Their cytotoxicity against KB and HeLa S-3 cell lines was also evaluated.

Their structures were elucidated by means of physical data (1D and 2D NMR, HRESIMS) and single-crystal X-ray crystallographic analyses. The peltogynoids, a rare type of modified flavonoids, are reported for the first time from this species of the genus Bougainvillea.
