Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2012, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Terminalia arjuna (Roxb.) Wight et Arnot. (Combretaceae) is a large tree found throughout India. Its bark is used as a cardioprotective agent in hypertension and ischaemic heart diseases. Phytochemical investigation of the stem bark of T. arjuna (Roxb.) procured from Delhi furnished two new phytoconstituents characterized as 4-methyl-4-hydroxymethylene-6β-(10-methyl octanyl) cyclohexane (arjunahomosesquiterpenol) and stigmast-5,22-dien-3β-ol-3β-D-galactofuranosyl-(2′→1′′)-β-D-galactofuranoside along with a known triterpenic glucoside termiarjunoside I. The structures of all the isolated compounds have been elucidated on the basis of spectral data analysis and chemical reactions.
