Flavonoids of Dikamali: A phytochemical reinvestigation

Nat Prod Res. 2013 Oct;27(20):1930-2. doi: 10.1080/14786419.2013.782494. Epub 2013 Mar 28.

Abstract

Eleven known flavonoids (1-11) were isolated from Dikamali, the gum resin of Gardenia lucida. Three of them, desmethylnobiletin, pectolinarigenin and xanthomicrol, are a new report from this source. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data are being given for all the isolates. For two of them, viz., 3',4'-dimethoxywogonin and 4'-hydroxywogonin, such data have not been reported in literature. Furthermore, correct NMR data are being provided for gardenin C as the data reported in literature were found to be incorrect.
