Abstract:Four compounds isolated from the rhizomes of Drynaria propinqua collected in Sichuan have been identified. One of them was a new natural product, namely propinqualin, whose structure was established as (—)-epiafzelechin-3-O-β-D-allopyranoside. The other three were 4-O-β-D-glucopyrauosyl caffeic acid, β-sitosterol-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside and sucrose.
