Abstract

Screening of three native South African Amaryllidaceae bulbs, aimed at finding new metabolites for their promising biological activities, lead to the initial discovery of two interesting non-alkaloid compounds viz., acetovanillone 1 (also known as apocynin) and 4-hydroxyacetophenone 2 (also named piceol) isolated from Crinum buphonoides, while only the former was isolated from Crinum graminicola. This is the first time that acetovanillone 1 and piceol 2 were isolated from C. graminicola and C. buphanoides, respectively. Acetovanillone 1 was recently reported as a metabolite of Boophane disticha (L.f.), another South Africa Amaryllidacea species.
