TL;DR: The trunk wood and barks from an Aniba species contain four esters of benzoic acid with cinnamyl alcohol, five benzofuran neolignans, licarin-A, burchellin, cis-burchellin-rearranged and cis-Burchellin rearranged, one tetrahydro-furan neogenan, aristolignin, three bicyclooctane guianin-type neogenans, (7 S, 8 S, 1′ R, 4′ R, 5′ S )-4,
TL;DR: The wood of Aniba burchellii Kosterm as discussed by the authors contains sitosterol, benzyl benzoate and the neolignan burchellin, for which the structure of (2S, 3S)-4-allyl-6-methoxy-3-methyl-2-piperonyl-2,3,4,7-tetrahydro-7-oxobenzofuran (XIII) is proposed.
TL;DR: In this article, the composition of the essential oil and of the hexane extract of the stem bark of Aniba canelilla was analyzed by means of GC/MS, MS and NMR spectroscopy.
Abstract: The composition of the essential oil and of the hexane extract of the stem bark of Aniba canelilla was analyzed by means of GC/MS, MS and NMR spectroscopy. In addition to confirming the presence of some previously identified constituents such as 1-nitro-2-phenylethane, safrole and eugenol, this study allowed us to identify β-sitosterol, α-pinene, β-pinene, benzaldehyde, phenylacetaldehyde, methoxy eugenol, methyl eugenol, and (−)-selin-11-en-4α-ol. 1-Nitro-2-phenylethane was found to exhibit a high toxicity towards yeasts especially Candida albicans. The LD50 of a petroleum ether extract from this plant was determined to be greater than 800 mg/kg for BALB/c mice.
TL;DR: The branches of the shrub Aniba lancifolia (Lauraceae) contain 2-hydroxy-4,5-dimethoxyallylbenzene and its dimer cyclohexan-2-allyl- 5en 4, 5-dimethylene (4, 5 -dimethoxyphenyl)-propyl]-1-one as mentioned in this paper.
