Chemical constituents of the leaves of Actinodaphne pruinosa

Abstract

ABSTRACT. This study was designed to investigate the chemical constituents from Actinodaphne pruinosa growing in Malaysia. A phytochemical investigation of the leaves part resulted in the isolation of boldine (1), norboldine (2), laurotetanine (3), reticuline (4), syringaresinol (5), lupeol (6), and taraxerol (7). The structures of the isolated phytochemicals were established by analysis of their spectroscopic data, as well as the comparison with that of reported data. Notably, this is the first time to report the isolation and structural elucidation of the constituents from the leaves part of A. pruinosa.   KEY WORDS: Actinodaphne pruinosa, Aporphine, Lauraceae, Phytochemical   Bull.
