| Summary: | Two plant species, Syzygium aquem and Dysoxylum acutangulum were phytochemically
studied. The chemical studies on the leaves and twigs of Syzygium aquem involves
extraction using three organic solvents of different polarity and isolation of compounds
by using several chromatographic techniques including gravity column chromatography.
The structures of the compounds were elucidated by various spectroscopic techniques
including UV, IR, EIMS and NMR.
Detail study on the chloroform crude extract twig and leaves of Syzygium aquem
afforded three compounds where one of the compounds was identified as a chalcone,
2’,4’-dihyroxy-3’,5’-dimethyl-6’-methoxychalcone (1), obtained as orange needleshaped
crystals. The other two compounds are urs-12-en-3β-ol (30) and lup-20(29)-en-
3β-ol (31).
Chemical investigation on the hexane crude extract leaves and twigs of the plant have
resulted a flavanone, 5-hydroxy-7-methoxy-6,8-dimethylflavanone (26), friedelin (28),
and two phytosterols, stigmasterol (30) and β-sitosterol (32). A chrotacumine C (33)
were isolated from root bark of Dysoxylum acutangulum. |
