Phenolic glycosides from the stem bark of Caryocar villosum and C. glabrum

J Nat Prod. 2008 May;71(5):914-7. doi: 10.1021/np800015p. Epub 2008 Apr 16.

Abstract

Mushroom tyrosinase inhibitory activity of methanol extracts and polar fractions of the stem bark of Caryocar villosum and C. glabrum has been assessed. Seven new phenolic glycosides (1-7) were isolated from the most active fractions, along with 15 known compounds (8-22). The structures of these compounds were established on the basis of spectroscopic methods including 1D and 2D NMR analysis, HRESIMS, and comparison with literature experimental data for known compounds.
