Abstract
Two previously unreported aromatic natural products, toonasinetin A (1) and toonasinetin B (2), along with three known compounds (3–5), were isolated from the methanolic extracts of the branches and leaves of Toona sinensis. The chemical structures of compounds 1 and 2 were established by 1D, 2D NMR, HRESIMS, UV, IR analysis, and calculating electronic circular dichroism (ECD). The structures of known compounds 3–5 were determined by comparison of their spectral data with those reported in the literature. These findings expand the known phytochemical diversity of this species and contribute to its chemotaxonomic characterization.
期刊介绍:
Phytochemistry Letters invites rapid communications on all aspects of natural product research including:
• Structural elucidation of natural products
• Analytical evaluation of herbal medicines
• Clinical efficacy, safety and pharmacovigilance of herbal medicines
• Natural product biosynthesis
• Natural product synthesis and chemical modification
• Natural product metabolism
• Chemical ecology
• Biotechnology
• Bioassay-guided isolation
• Pharmacognosy
• Pharmacology of natural products
• Metabolomics
• Ethnobotany and traditional usage
• Genetics of natural products
Manuscripts that detail the isolation of just one new compound are not substantial enough to be sent out of review and are out of scope. Furthermore, where pharmacology has been performed on one new compound to increase the amount of novel data, the pharmacology must be substantial and/or related to the medicinal use of the producing organism.
