“…Some phenolic compounds have been identified in D. draco resin (Camarda, Merlini, & Nasini, 1983;González, Léon, Sánchez-Pinto, Padrón, & Bermejo, 2000;González et al, 2004;Melo et al, 2007), including the 2,4,4 0 -trihydroxydihydrochalcone, 3-(4-hydroxybenzyl)-5,7-dimethoxychroman and 7-hydroxy-3-(4-hydroxybenzyl)-chromone, which were described for the first time in nature by González et al (2000). Recently, dracoflavylium was isolated and identified as the major red colourant in this resin (Melo et al, 2007). In addition, Hernández et al (2006) reported the isolation from the D. draco leaves and the structural determination of the new homo-isoflavonoid dracol.…”
