acronychia odorata/alkaloid

Bioassay-directed fractionation of a root extract of Acronychia laurifolia (Rutaceae) using the KB-V1+ human tumor cell line led to the isolation of six quinoline alkaloids. One of these alkaloids is novel, namely, 2,3-methylenedioxy-4,7-dimethoxyquinoline and the other five were identified as the

Three new acetophenone dimers or Acronychia-type acetophenones, acropyrone (1), acropyranol A (2), and acropyranol B (3), were isolated from the trunk bark of Acronychia pedunculata and structurally characterized, together with four known acetophenone dimers, acrovestone (4), acrovestenol (5),

In the course of isolating acronycine (1) from an alkaloid fraction of the bark of Acronychia baueri (Rutaceae), five alkaloids, 1,2,3-trimethoxy-10-methyl-acridone (9), 1,3,4-trimethoxy-10-methyl-acridone (10), des-N-methyl acronycine (14), normelicopine (5), and noracronycine (2), were isolated.

The genus Acronychia (Rutaceae) comprise 44 species, most of which are represented by shrubs and small trees, distributed in a wide geographical area of South-Eastern Asia comprising China, India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Australia, and the islands of the western Pacific Ocean. Most of the species of
