micromelin/micromelum

The title compound {systematic name: 7-meth-oxy-6-[(1R,2R,5R)-5-methyl-4-oxo-3,6-dioxabicyclo-[3.1.0]hexan-2-yl]-2H-chromen-2-one}, C(15)H(12)O(6), is a coumarin, which was isolated from the roots of Micromelum glanduliferum. There are two mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit with slight differences in

A new 7-oxygenated coumarin, 7-demethylmurralonginol isovalerate (1), and a new natural product, murralonginol (2), together with seven known 7-oxygenated coumarins, murralonginol isovalerate (3), murralongin (4), micromelin (5), scopoletin (6), microminutin (7), murrangatin (8), and minumicrolin

Extracts of Micromelum integerrimum (Buch.-Ham. ex Coleb.) M. Roem. were fractionated based on in vivo activity in mice in the P-388 lymphocytic leukemia system. Activity in ethanol extracts was concentrated in the chloroform partition fraction, which was further resolved by chromatography on silica
