“…The phytochemical investigation of the leaves and stems afforded the flavonoids (+)-catechin, (-)-epicatechin, quercitrin and isoquercitrin, which are frequently found in Byrsonima species including B. basiloba, 6,7 B. bucidaefolia, 8 B. crassa, 9,10 B. crassifolia, [11][12][13][14] B. fagifolia, [15][16][17] B. intermedia, 18 B. microphylla, 19,20 and B. verbascifolia; 21,22 the investigation also afforded the tannins 3,5-di-O-galloylquinic acid, 5-O-galloylquinic acid, 5-O-(3-methylgalloyl)-quinic acid, 3,4,5-tri-O-galloylquinic acid and gallic acid, which have been previously described in B. crassa 9,10 and B. fagifolia. [15][16][17] Among the compounds isolated from the stems of B. coccolobifolia, (+)-syringaresinol and trigonostemone are new in the genus Byrsonima.…”
