Oligoamide, a new lactam from the leaves of Angylocalyx oligophyllus.

A new lactam, oligoamide (1), along with three known compounds (2-4), stigmasterol-3-O-ß-D-glucopyranoside (2), formononetin (3) and (-)-pinitol (4) were isolated from the CH2Cl2/CH3OH (1:1) extract of the leaves of Angylocalyx oligophyllus by chromatographic separation. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analysis (UV, IR, MS, 1D, and 2D NMR). Compound 1 was found to have weak antioxidant and urease inhibitory potential.
