Chemical composition of the stem bark and leaves of Ficus pandurata Hance

Abstract

A new compound, 3-O-α-L-arabinopyranosyl-4-hydroxybenzoic acid (13), in addition to 16 newly reported compounds: α-amyrin acetate (1), β-amyrone (2), 3β-acetoxy-20-taraxasten-22-one (3), α-amyrin (4), ceryl alcohol (5), stigmasterol (6), β-sitosterol (7), 2α,3α-dihydroxy-lup-20(29)-en-28-oate (8), ursolic acid (9), β-sitosterol-3-O-glucosoide (10), protocatechuic acid (11), betulinic acid (12), quercetin (14), quercetin-3-O-β-D-glucoside (15), kampferol-3-O-β-neohesperidoside (16) and rutin (17) were isolated from the stem bark and leaves of Ficus pandurata (Hance) cultivated in Egypt. Identification of these compounds has been established by physical, chemical and spectral data (UV, IR, MS, ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR), as well as comparison with authentic samples.
