Studies on the constituents from the fruits of Phaleria macrocarpa

Abstract

From the fruits of Phaleria macrocarpa, icariside C3 (1), phalerin (2), and mangiferin (3) were isolated and their structures were identified on the basis of spectroscopic data. Icariside C3 (1) showed a slow vasorelaxant activity against noradrenaline-induced contraction of isolated rat aorta. The structure of phalerin (2) was revised as 2,4′,6-trihydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone-2-O-β-d-glucoside.
