Morinda Morindoides is a widely used plant in the traditional Ivorian pharmacopoeia, for the treatment of many microbial infections such as those due to amoeba, fungi, and is also used to treat diarrhea and rheumatic pain. The chemical composition of this species is very varied and includes numerous anthraquinones. In this article, we describe the isolation of a new Anthraquinone, 4-hydroxy-1-methoxy-2-methylanthraquinone (1) M Morindoides in conjunction with the known anthraquinones (2), 2methylanthraquinone (3), Soranjidiol (4), Damnacanthol (5), Damnacanthal (6), Rubiadin-1-methyl-ether (7). The structures were elucidated through spectroscopic studies including 2D-NMR experiments (HSQC, HMBC, COSY, and NOESY).
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.
