Abstract: | The phytochemical investigation of Grazielia multifida aerial parts yielded eight compounds, including four ent-kaurenic acid diterpenes derivatives, 15-tiglinoyloxy-ent-kaur-16-en-19-oic acid (1), 15-hydroxy-ent-kaur-16-en-19-oic acid (2), 17-hydroxy-ent-kaur-15-en-19-oic acid (3) and 15-isovaleroyloxy-ent-kaur-16-en-19-oic acid (4), one amino acid, tryptophan (5), and three flavonoids, eupafolin (6), guaijaverin (7) and quercitrin (8). The structures of the isolated compounds were established based on analysis of their spectroscopic data and comparison with literature. All the compounds were isolated from this species for the first time. The chemotaxonomic significance of the absence of sesquiterpene lactones in G. multifida has also been summarized. |
