Bioactivity-directed fractionation of an EtOAc extract from the leaves of Miconia lepidota afforded the two benzoquinones 2-methoxy-6-heptyl-1,4-benzoquinone (1) and 2-methoxy-6-pentyl-1,4-benzoquinone (primin) (2). This is the first reported isolation of

Benzoquinones such as primin (2-methoxy-6-pentyl-1,4-benzoquinone) from Primula obconica HANCE (Primulaceae) are known to be strong sensitizers and thus the source of severe allergic contact dermatitis (cell-mediated type of allergy).In order to determine
