Abstract
Chemical examination of the leaves of Styrax ferrugineus yielded 5-[3″-(β- d-glucopyranosyloxy)propyl]-7-methoxy-2-(3′,4′-dimethoxyphenyl) benzofuran, along with the known nor-lignans 5-(3″-hydroxypropyl)-7-methoxy-2-(3′,4′-methylenedioxyphenyl)benzofuran, 5-(3″-hydroxypropyl)-7-methoxy-2-(3′,4′-dimethoxyphenyl)benzofuran, 5-[3″-(β- d-glucopyranosyloxy)propyl]-7-methoxy-2-(3′,4′-methylenedioxyphenyl)benzofuran and the lignan, dihydrodehydrodiconiferyl alcohol. All arylpropanoids isolated showed antibacterial and antifungal activities. The structures of the isolates were established by spectroscopic analysis.
