Recebido em 4/10/99; aceito em 15/3/01 CHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS OF GUSTAVIA AUGUSTA L. (LECYTHIDACEAE). The Gustavia augusta is used in the folk medicine against leishmaniosis and showed anti-inflammatory action. The phytochemical studies of the plant stem bark have led to the isolation of (22E)-stigmasta-7,22-dien-3βol, 24α(S)-ethyl-5α-colesta-7,trans-22-dien-3-one, D-friedoolean-14-en-3β-ol, D-friedoolean-14-en-3-one and D-friedoolean-14-en-3α-ol along with stigmasterol, α-amyrin, β-amyrin, lupeol, 3α-hidroxi-lupeol and betulinic acid. The structures of these compounds were identified by IR, GC/MS, 1 H and 13 C NMR spectral analysis and comparison with literature data.
Dos extratos benzênico e clorofórmico da madeira de Swartzia brachyrachisHarms var. brachyrachis foram isolados, por métodos cromatográficos, uma isoflavona inédita (7,4'—diidroxi -5,3'5'-trimetoxi-6-metilisoflavona), denominada brachyrachisina, c um glicosídio (3-O-β-D-glicopiranosilsitosterol). As estruturas foram elucidadas através de análises espectroscópicas.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
