The phytochemical studies of the leaves of Licania arianeae Prance (Crysobalanaceae) have led to the identification of ten new chromones, four 5,7-dihydroxy-2-alkylchromones, four 5,7-dihydroxy-6-chloro-2-alkylchromones and two 5,7-dihydroxy-6,8-dichloro-2-alkylchromones. The structures were established from IR, NMR and FAB-MS spectra data including 2D NMR experiments of natural substances and of the methyl derivatives.
From the leaves and wood of Licania arianeae, ten known compounds were isolated and identified. They belong to pharmacological active triterpenes acids, including three oleanoic acids, five ursane acids, and two triterpenes saponin acids. Their structures were established by analysis of infrared, mass spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectral data of natural triterpenes and of methyl acetyl derivatives.
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.
