ABSTRACT

Chromatographic purification of chloroform extract of the twigs of Ellipeia cuneifolia has led to the discovery of three compounds comprising of 2’,4’-dihydroxy-4,6’-dimethoxychalcone; tepanone; and O-methylmoschatoline. Structures of the compounds were established by interpreting their spectral data and by comparing them with those of the literature. Two of them showed antibacterial activities.

 

Keywords: Annonaceae; antibacterial activity; chalcone; Ellipeia cuneifolia; oxoaporphine; retrochalcone; twig

 

ABSTRAK

Penulenan kromatografi terhadap ekstrak kloroform ranting Ellipeia cuneifolia membawa kepada penemuan 3 sebatian iaitu 2’,4’-dihidroksi-4,6’-dimetoksikalkon; tepanon; dan O-metilmoskatolina. Struktur sebatian ini telah ditentukan dengan mentafsirkan data spektrum dan membandingkannya dengan data spektrum daripada penerbitan. Dua daripadanya menunjukkan aktiviti antibakteria.

 

Kata kunci:  Aktiviti antibakteria; Annonaceae; Ellipeia cuneifolia; kalkon; oksoaporfina; ranting; retrokalkon
