Bhadari (Annonaceae). Artabotrycinol(4) is a new neo-lignan and (R)-artabotriol(5) is a new hemiterpenoid. Their structures were established by IR, UV, MS, 1D and 2D NMR. Three other neo-lignans 1, 2, 3 were isolated from this plant for the first time.展开更多

Compound 1 is a C-37 acetogenin without any THF rings. with four hydroxyls and one double bond in the long aliphatic chain. The hydroxyls of 1 are located at C-4, C-10, C-18 and C-19. respectively. The vicinal diet at C-18/C-19 is threo-configuration, and the double bond at C-14/C-15 is cis-configuration.展开更多

Thus, the MeOH crude extract of its stem barks was investigated in order to determine the chemical composition. A new C-benzyl hydroxlated, uvriatortilisin (1), together with six known compounds, dichamanetin (2), β-sitosterol (3), stigmasterol (4), chamanetin (5), uvaretin (6) and (-)-epicatechin (7), were isolated. Structure of these compounds was elucidated using spectroscopic techniques, including IR, UV, MS and NMR (1D and 2D). Certain compounds could be considered to have chemotaxonomic value.展开更多

It is found in non inundated and inundated rain forest at elevations from sea level to 600(-900)m. It is distinct from other related genera by its conspicuous ring of staminodes formed by the enlarged outer stamens, which is unique in the Annonaceae, and by an entirely fused calyx, combined with the fully syncarpous fruits with a basal collar. The general wood anatomical characters are in line with the very specific wood anatomy of the family, characterized by the tangential, concentric parenchyma bands. There is, however, one very specific feature in Fusaea : the small rhombic crystals in the ray cells. From the combined evidence from flower, fruit and pollen morphology, we can conclude that Fusaea is closely related to Duckeanthus, Duguetia, Pachypodanthium, Letestudoxa and probably Pseudartabotrys . Based on measurements of the diagnostic features on all the 158 available specimens identified either as F.longifolia or F.decurrens , we constructed three scatter diagrams to show the continuous variation of the distinguishing characters previously used. F.decurrens is obviously within the morphological variation range of F.longifolia , and is therefore brought into synonymy with the latter. Two species, i.e., F.longifolia and F.peruviana , are recognized in this genus.展开更多
