Correction: Moharam et al., Inhibitory Effects of Phylligenin and Quebrachitol Isolated from Mitrephora vulpina on Platelet Activating Factor Receptor Binding and Platelet Aggregation. Molecules 2010, 15, 7840-7848

The authors wish to inform readers that there are several minor errors and omissions in the chemical structures shown in Figure 1 of this paper [1]. While our phylligenin structure did show the correct 4S stereochemistry at the point of attachment of the 3,4-dimethoxyphenyl substituent, the 1R stereochemistry of the 2-methoxyphenol attachment point was omitted. In the structure of quebrachitol the stereochemistry that distinguishes this particular compound from other O-methylinositol isomers was not indicated. Finally, a double bond was missing in the structure of oxoputerine. The corrected Figure 1 is shown below.

Finally, we have been alerted by Prof. Christophe Wiart (University of Nottingham) that the taxonomy of several of the Mitrephora species mentioned in our paper, including the title species M. vulpina, has changed, and the names M. vulpina C.E.C. Fisch, M. zippeliana and M. diversifolia are no longer used, while the species M. thorelii Pierre is now M. tomentosa Hook f. & Thomson. Readers are advised to consult a recent monograph on this genus [1] for the most current information.
