Two new tetranorterpenoid derivatives named rubescins I (1) and J (2), were isolated along with six known compounds including rubescin D (3), lichexanthone (4), scopoletin (5), scopoletin O-glycoside (6), β-sitosterol (7) and stigmasterol (8) from the stem bark of Trichilia rubescens (Meliaceae). The structures of the compounds were determined by means of MS, different NMR and by comparison with related data reported in the literature.

Alders are widely distributed riparian trees in Europe, North Africa and Western Asia. Recently, a strong reduction of alder stands has been detected in Europe due to infection by species (Stramenopila kingdom). This infection causes a disease known as alder dieback, characterized by leaf yellowing, dieback of branches, increased fruit production, and bark necrosis in the collar and basal part of the stem.

In the present study, 85% aqueous ethanol extract of stem bark (MESB) showed the isolation of six bioactive compounds including myricanone (), myricanol-5-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (), myricetin (), myricolol (), β-sitosterol (), and β-sitosterol-D-glucoside (). The HPLC approach revealed as a key bioactive compound, with a 69% abundance in the crude ethanol (CE) extract. Furthermore, the CE was assessed for antioxidant activity using DPPH and hydroxyl radical tests, while purified compounds were examined for total antioxidant capacity using cyclic voltammetry and verified using the density functional theory (DFT) method.
