Abstract

Phytochemical study on the roots of Croton argyratus (Euphorbiaceae) has been carried out . Isolation and purification of the methanolic extract afforded a styryldehydropyrone, (+)-goniothalamin and a clerodane-type diterpene, (-)-junceic acid. The structures of these compounds were determined  by spectroscopy methods  such as mass spectrometry  (MS), ¹H and  ¹³C NMR and by comparison with those of previously reported  data. This paper report s the isolation and elucidat ion of the above compounds.

 

Keywords : Croton argyratus, Euphorbiaceae, goniothalamin, junceic acid.
