Flavonoids from the fruits of Murraya paniculata

Abstract

In an investigation of the peel and pulp of the fresh ripe fruits of Murraya paniculata nine flavonoids: 5,7,3′,4′,5′-pentamethoxyflavanonol, 5,6,7,3′,4′,5′-hexamethoxyflavone, 3,5,6,7,3′,4′,5′-heptamethoxyflavone, 5,7,8,3′,4′,5′-hexamethoxyflavone, 3,5,7,8,3′,4′,5′-heptamethoxyflavone, 3,5,7,8,3′,4′-hexamethoxyflavone, 5-hydroxy-3,7,8,3′,4′-pentamethoxyflavone, 5-hydroxy-3,7,8,3′,4′,5′-hexamethoxyflavone and 8-hydroxy-3,5,7,3′,4′,5′-hexamethoxyflavone, were identified. The latter two compounds appear to be novel.
