Phytochemistry. 2012 Feb;74:166-72. | Secondary metabolites from Spirotropis longifolia (DC) Baill and their antifungal activity against human pathogenic fungi.[Pubmed: 22137037] | A phytochemical study of the ethyl acetate extract of the roots and adventitious roots of Spirotropis longifolia, a monodominant tree species of the Guianan rainforest, has allowed the isolation of three compounds: 2-hydroxy-8,9-methylenedioxy-2',2'-dimethylpyrano-[5',6':4,3]-6a-prenyl-[6aS,11aS]-pterocarpan (spirotropin A), 2-hydroxy-8,9-methylenedioxy-2',2'-dimethyl-3',4'-dihydropyrano-[5',6':4,3]-6a-prenyl-[6aS,11aS]-pterocarpan (spirotropin B), and 5,7-dihydroxy-6,8-diprenyl-2'''',2''''-dimethylpyrano[5'''',6'''': 3',4']-isoflavone (spirotropone). In addition, 10 known compounds, trans-oxyresveratrol, trans-resveratrol, piceatannol, daidzein, genistein, isoprunetin, lupeol, latifolol, Gnetin D and gnetin E, were also isolated.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
These compounds were evaluated for their antifungal activity and their cytotoxicity, and their structures were established by 1D and 2D NMR, HRMS, CD and optical rotation measurements. |
