Abstract
A structurally unique hydrophobic compound, biyouyanagin A, was isolated from the MeOH extract of the leaves of Hypericum chinense L. var. salicifolium. The structure of biyouyanagin A was elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic evidence. Biyouyanagin A showed a significant activity against HIV and inhibited cytokine production.Keywords
