Annonaceous acetogenins from seeds of Annona squamosa / 中草药

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the chemical composition from the seeds of Annona squamosa. Methods The components of annonaceous acetogenins from the seeds of A. squamosa were isolated and purified by extracting and chromatography separation. The structures of the compounds were identified by their physicochemical properties, UV, NMR, and mass spectrometry data. Results Seven annonaceous acetogenins were isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of the seeds from A.squamosa. They are 3-[7-[5- [1,4-dihydroxy-4-[5-(1-hydroxytridecyl)-2-furanyl] butyl] tetrahydro-2-furanyl]-2-hydroxyheptyl]-5-methyl-2(5H)-furanone (1), 3-[9-[5-(1-hydroxy-4-heptadeceneyl) tetrahydro-2-furanyl] hydroxynonyl]-5-methyl-2 (5H)-furanone (2), bullatalicin (3), squamostatin A (4), squamostatin D (5), bullatacin (6), and 10-hydroxyasimicin (7). Conclusion Compounds 1 and 2 are two new compounds, named as trilobalicin I (1) and D20-solamin B (2), respectively.
