A new jujubogenin saponin was isolated from the stems of Colubrina retusa and identified as jujubogenin 3-O-alpha-L-arabinofuranosyl (1-->2)-[3-O-(trans)-p-coumaroyl-beta-D-glucopyranosyl (1-->3)]-alpha-L-arabinopyranoside (4) on the basis of chemical and spectroscopic data. The antimycobacterial activity expressed as minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for compound 4 was 10 microg/mL.
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.
