Two new pheophytins, bidenphytins A ( 1 ) and B ( 2 ), with peroxide functionalities on ring E , were isolated from Biden pilosa Linn . var. radiata Sch . Bip ., a popular Taiwanese folk medicine. Also isolated were the following six known compounds: pheophytin a ( 3 ), (13 2 R )‐13 2 ‐hydroxypheophytin a ( 4 ), (13 2 S )‐13 2 ‐hydroxypheophytin a ( 5 ), (13 2 R )‐13 2 ‐hydroxypheophytin b ( 6 ), (13 2 S )‐13 2 ‐hydroxypheophytin b ( 7 ), and aristophyll‐C ( 8 ). Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods (UV, IR, 1D‐ and 2D‐NMR) and by mass spectrometry (HR‐FAB‐MS). Possible biosynthetic pathways for 1 and 2 are proposed.
