Article Synopsis
- The seeds of Allanblackia floribunda, a tropical African tree, are traditionally used in cooking and traditional medicine.
- A study explored the potential of these seeds as a source of bioactive compounds, identifying six main polyphenols using advanced techniques.
- These compounds, particularly morelloflavone and its derivatives, demonstrated significant antioxidant activity comparable to vitamin C, suggesting the seeds could be a valuable by-product in food and pharmaceutical industries.
Four new prenylated anthranols, harunganols C-F (1-4), along with kenganthranol A (5), harunganin (6), and ferruginin A (7), were identified from the leaves of Harungana madagascariensis. The structures of compounds 2, 5, and 7 were confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Compound 1 is a unique symmetrical anthranol dimer connected via a CH2 group.
