Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0031-9422(90)85097-Y

Chemical analysis of heartwood of Lonchocarpus castilloi afforded, in addition to β-sitosterol, four methyl furan auranols and one α-hydroxydihydrofuran chalcone, named castillanes A-E.Their structure were established by chemical and spectral methods.The compounds exhibited fungistatic activity against Lenzites trabea.
