Screening of three native South African Amaryllidaceae bulbs, aimed at finding new metabolites for their promising biological activities, lead to the initial discovery of two interesting non-alkaloid compounds viz., acetovanillone 1 (also known as apocynin) and 4-hydroxyacetophenone 2 (also named piceol) isolated from Crinum buphonoides, while only the former was isolated from Crinum graminicola. This is the first time that acetovanillone 1 and piceol 2 were isolated from C. graminicola and C. buphanoides, respectively. Acetovanillone 1 was recently reported as a metabolite of Boophane disticha (L.f.), another South Africa Amaryllidacea species.

Abstract
Screening of three native South African Amaryllidaceae bulbs, aimed at finding new metabolites for their promising biological activities, lead to the initial discovery of two interesting non-alkaloid compounds viz., acetovanillone 1 (also known as apocynin) and 4-hydroxyacetophenone 2 (also named piceol) isolated from Crinum buphonoides, while only the former was isolated from Crinum graminicola. This is the first time that acetovanillone 1 and piceol 2 were isolated from C. graminicola and C. buphanoides, respectively. Acetovanillone 1 was recently reported as a metabolite of Boophane disticha (L.f.), another South Africa Amaryllidacea species.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
