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.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFFicus congensis (Moraceae) is used traditionally in the treatment of various diseases including infectious diseases, infertility, and gastrointestinal disorders. Investigation of hexane extract of the stem bark using chromatographic techniques led to isolation of a xanthone, 1-hydroxy-3,7,8-trimethoxyxanthone (Decussatin). The compound was elucidated based on spectroscopic methods such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), UV, IR, and mass spectrometry (MS).
