Isolation and Characterization of Phytoconstituents from the Stems of Ichnocarpus frutescens

AimTo study the chemical constituents of the stem part of Ichnocarpus frutescens.MethodsThe ethanolic extract of Ichnocarpus frutescens was used for the isolation of chemical constituents with the help of silica gel G and Sephadex column chromatography and their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectral data and chemical methods.ResultsFive compounds were isolated and identified as n-butyl oleate (1), n-octyl tetracontane (2), tetratriacontadiene (3), n-nonadecanyl benzoate (4), and benzocosanyl arachidate (5).ConclusionCompound 5 is new; and compounds 1–4 are isolated from genus Ichnocarpus frutescens for the first time.
