Potent bioactive metabolites from < em > Olea ferruginea < /em >
Nat Prod Res. 2024 Feb 14:1-9. doi: 10.1080/14786419.2024.2315592. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSeven known (1-7) and one new compound (8) were isolated and identified from the stem of Olea ferruginea. The species has been recognised as a new source for six of the known metabolites (1, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7). Based on detailed spectroscopic analyses, these compounds were identified as scopoletin (1), 8-ketosetosterol (2), (+)-cycloolivil (3), (+)-africanal (4), isovanilic acid (5), hydroxytyrosol acetate (6), vanillic acid (7), and cycloolivil A (8). The crude extracts and purified compounds were analysed for their Leishmanic...
