Silva, Mário G. de Carvalho, Tereza A.N. RibeiroAbstractThe phytochemical investigation of roots of Duguetia furfuracea (A. St.-Hil.) Saff. (Annonaceae) led to the isolation of α-asarone (1), asaraldehyde (2), staudine (3) and a mixture of β-sitosterol 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (4) and stigmasterol 3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (5). Structure elucidation of these compounds was performed on the basis of NMR spectral data and MS. Chemotaxonomic significance of (3) was explained.
