Abstract
The roots of Chenopodium album were infused in MeOH, and the extract was partitioned between AcOEt and H2O. AcOEt-Soluble material was subjected to different silica-gel column chromatographies and then purified by reverse-phase HPLC to afford a new cinnamic acid amide alkaloid as a racemic mixture. The new compound, named chenoalbicin (1), was characterized by extensive spectroscopic investigation, especially 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy. Its effects on the germination and growth of Lactuca sativa L. has been studied. The results are reported as percentage differences of germination, root elongation, and shoot elongation from the control at concentrations ranging from 10(-4) to 10(-7) M.
