Inulavosin, A New Thymol Dimer with Piscicidal Activity from Inula Nrevosa

Article abstract of DOI:10.3987/COM-95-7148

Upon the fractionation guided by piscicidal activity using the Medaka (Oryzias latipes), three piscicidal substances were isolated from the root of Inula nervosa, and were characterized as thymol and its derivatives based on the spectral analyses including 2D nmr techniques.A new piscicide, named inulavosin, was a thymol dimer with a new heterocyclic skeleton.
