New Chemical Constituent from the Rhizomes of Johannesteijsmannia altifrons

Abstract

A new compound namely 2-[(1′E)-3′-hydroxyl-1′-methyl-1′-propen-1′-yl]-6-methoxy-7-[(2′′-methylheptyl)oxy]-5benzofurancarboxylic acid and three known compounds of β-sitosterol, γ-taraxasterol and stigmasterol were isolated from the n-hexane extracts of the rhizomes and fruits of Johannesteijsmannia altifrons using vacuum liquid, column and radial chromatography. The structures of the isolated compounds were determined by means of 1D and 2D NMR, FT-IR, UV-VIS spectroscopy and mass spectrometry.

Impact of Washingtonia robusta Leaves on Gamma Irradiation-Induced Hepatotoxicity in Rats and Correlation with STING Pathway and Phenolic Composition

“…Most Trachycarpeae plants are characterized by the prevalence of lipoids (triterpenoids and steroids), polyphenols (flavonoids and phenolic acids), and saponins, as major bioactive secondary metabolites [ 12 , 13 , 14 ]. Moreover, several scientifically-based bioactivities are ascribed to members of this tribe including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiprotozoal, antidiabetic, anti-hyperlipidemic, antimicrobial, antiviral, anti-benign prostate hyperplasia, and anti-prostatic cancer [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 ].…”
