Abstract
A new dimeric naphthoquinone, named 5,8,5 ' -trihydroxy-8 ' -methoxy-6,6 ' -dimethyl-7,3-binaphthyl-1,4,1 ' ,4 ' -tetraone ( 1 ), was isolated from Diospyros lotus stem. The structure of the compound was elucidated by advance spectroscopic analysis including 1D and 2D experiments such as HMBC, NOESY, and J-resolved (JRES). Compound 1 was assessed for antioxidant activity, which showed good activity even at low concentration.
