9. A search of literatures led to the following document in which the compound nominally having the same structure as glabroisoflavanone A was found: Kikuchi M., Takizawa H., Wakebe H., Mukai F., Shimizu S., Okamatsu H., Saito T., Yamadaira S., Kimura H., Sasaki, K., PCT Int. Appl. (WO 9809652), 1-40 (1998). We are not sure whether these two are identical or not, since it is a non-scientific document in which neither the process of structure elucidation nor detailed spectroscopic data were available. From these circumstances we regard the isolation of compound 1 as the first isolation from nature and thus a name of glabroisoflavanone A is given to this compound.
