Abstract |
The first phytochemical investigation of the bark of Akschindlium godefroyanum
(Kuntze) H. Ohashi (Fabaceae), a Thai herbal medicine, resulted in the isolation of two
new flavanonols, 7,30,50-trihydroxy-5-methoxyflavanonol (1) and 7,40-dihydroxy-5,30-
dimethoxyflavanonol (2), and eight known compounds comprising one flavonol,
geraldol (3); three flavanonols, (þ)-taxifolin (4), (þ)-fustin (5) and aromadendrin
5-methyl ether (6); one catechin, (–)-epigallocatechin (7); one triterpenoid, lupeol (8);
one steroid, stigmasterol (9) and one steroid glycoside, stigmasterol-3-O-b-D-glucoside
(10). Their structures were identified by spectroscopic methods. |
