Pterocarpus is often used to make high-grade furniture, with beneficial health functions on the human body. Therefore, this article with large fruit red sandalwood as an example, to explore its extract on the human body beneficial health care ingredients. FT-IR analysis, in the 2855-3421 cm-1 wave
Three new benzofurans (1-3) and one new isoflavan (4), pteroyanin G, H, I and J, together with 21 known compounds, were isolated from the heartwood of Pterocarpus soyauxii. Their structures were determined by the NMR and MS spectral data in comparison with literature data. Compounds (1-25) did not
Three new sesquiterpenes of canusesnol K (1), canusesnol L (2) and 12, 15-dihydroxycurcumene (3), along with five known ones (4-8), were isolated from the heartwood extract of Pterocarpus santalinus. Their structures were established by extensive analyses of 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy, including 1H
Phytochemical study on the constituents of the heartwood of Pterocarpus soyauxii led to the isolation of five new isoflavonoids and one new 3-arylcoumarin, pterosonins A-F (1-6), together with 17 known analogues, among which 8, 9, and 18 were reported as natural products for the first time.
