According to folk medicine Rumex obtusifolius has a pronounced detoxifying effect on the liver and is used against jaundice and fever. Following a chemical reaction-guided isolation on Rumex obtusifolius we obtained demethylmacrosporine I, an anthraquinone derivative. Its structural determination by one and two dimensional NMR and a proposition of structure-activity relationship are presented."esPolygonaceaeRumexAnthraquinoneChemistryBotanyTraditional medicineStereochemistryarticle
