Viridone, a New Butyrylcholinesterase Inhibitory Phenolic Ester from Leaves of Ocimum viride

  • Published:
Chemistry of Natural Compounds Aims and scope

A new phenolic ester, viridone (1), has been isolated from the EtOH soluble part of Ocimum viride, along with previously reported known compounds: ursolic acid (2), oleanolic acid (3), stigmasterol (4), β-sitosterol-glucoside (5), 7-hydroxycoumarin (6), jacarandic acid (7), pedunculin (8), and crismaritin (9). Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic techniques including two-dimensional NMR. Viridone (1) showed significant inhibitory activity against butyrylcholinesterase.
