Six new compounds, xylomexicanins K-N (1-4), granasteroid (5) and 6-methoxy-2-pentylbenzofuran-4-ol (6), along with nine known compounds were isolated from the leaves and twigs of Xylocarpus granatum. Among them, 1 was a biogenetic precursor of 1,8,9-phragmalin limonoid, and 4 represent the first example of degraded A-ring limonoid. The structures of them were elucidated on the basis of one-and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopic data (including 1 H, 13 C-NMR, DEPT, 1 H-1 H COSY, HSQC, HMBC, and NOESY) and confirmed by high-resolution mass spectrometry.
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.
