Abstract

A chromene isolated from Eupatorium toppingianum has been identified as 6-acetyl-7,8-dimethoxy-2,2-dimethylchromene. Its structure was elucidated by extensive 1D and 2D NMR techniques, IR, UV and MS. Bioassay of the chromene indicated that it has high cytotoxic, antimutagenic and antimicrobial properties.
