Abstract:

The aim of this study is to perform a phytochemical investigation of the aerial parts of Murraya tetramera Huang. Nine compounds wereisolated by silica gel and Sephadex LH-20 chromatography, together with preparative TLC and HPLC methods. By analysis of the MS and NMR spectroscopic data and comparison with those in literature, these nine compounds were identified as 3,3'-[oxybis(methylene)]bis(9-methoxy-9H-carbazole) (1), murrastifoline B (2), murrayaquinone A(3), 2,4-dimethoxyphenol (4), 1,2-dimethoxy-4-nitrobenzene (5), 3-methylanisole (6), (–)-syringaresinol-4-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (7), β-sitosterol (8), and octadecanyl-3-methoxy-4-hydroxylbenzeneacrylate (9), respectively. Among them, compounds 46 and 9 were described from the genus Murraya for the first time, and compounds 29were isolated from M. tetramera for the first time.
