OBJECTIVE
To investigate the chemical constituents of Murraya kwangsiensis.
METHODS
Compounds were isolated by silica gel column chromatography and TLC method, respectively. Structures of compounds were elucidated by spectral (UV, IR, MS, 1HNMR and 13CNMR) analysis.
RESULTS
Five carbazole alkaloids
Murraya koenigii is an important medicinal plant of India and commonly known as curry leaf tree grown in tropical and subtropical regions. The leaves of curry tree are used as a herb due to the presence of following important active constituent bismahanine, murrayanine, murrayafoline-A,
Two new carbazole alkaloids named murrayanine (1) and 8,8' '-biskoenigine (2) were isolated from Murraya koenigii. The structure elucidations for 1 and 2 were carried out on the basis of 1D and 2D NMR experiments. Compound 1 was a novel carbazole alkaloid with a rare phenylpropanyl substitution.
