Aromin-A, an Annonaceous acetogenin from Annona cherimola

Phytochemistry. 1999 Jun;51(3):429-33. doi: 10.1016/s0031-9422(99)00002-3.

Abstract

Chromatographic fractionation of a MeOH extract from the stems of Annona cherimola led to the isolation of a new non-adjacent, bis-THF ring acetogenin (one THF ring being at C-4 and the other at C-16), aromin-A (1) along with the known cytotoxic acetogenin squamocin (2). The structures of these isolates were established by means of mass spectrometry and spectroscopic techniques.
