NEW ANTIFUNGAL AROMATIC COMPOUNDS FROM THE SEEDS OF RHUS CORIARIA L.
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2011, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Phytochemical investigation of the ethanolic extract of the seeds of Rhus coriaria L. (Anacardiaceae) afforded three new aromatic compounds identified as 1-methoxy-4-hydroxy-methylene naphthalene (coriarianaphthyl ether), 7-methoxy-5-methyl benzen-4-al-1-oic acid (coriariaoic acid) and 1-dodecanoxy-2,8-dihydroxy-anthracene-15-oic acid (coriarianthracenyl ester) along with known phytoconstituents n-tetracosane, n-pentacosane, anise alcohol, p-hydroxybenzyl alcohol, methyl lawsone and 2-hydroxymethylene naphthaquinone. The structures of all the isolated compounds have been identified on the basis of spectral data analysis and chemical reactions. All the new compounds showed antifungal activity.
