ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF NOVEL COMPOUNDS FROM FRUITS OF ZANTHOXYLUM LIMONELLA

Abstract

Author(s): K.V. Arun Kumar, M. Paridhavi

The ethyl acetate fraction of methanolic extract of the fruits of Zanthoxylum limonella upon column chromatography resulted three compounds, Stigmast-5en3-ol-3-o-arbinopyranosy-l -2-deconate (z1), β-sitosterol (z2) and Stigmast-5-en-3-ol-3-o-rhamnopyranosyl-2’-octanoate (z3). Among them, β-sitosterol is a well known phytoconstituent for its medicinal value, but relevant data of other two are unavailable.
