Abstract:
Five compouds have been isolated from the ethanol extracts of the roots of
Polyalthia nemoralis A.et DC..By means of spectrometric and physico-chemical analysis ,four of them wereidentified as zincpolyanemine(PN
1),cupric bis(pyridine-
N-oxide-2-thiolate)(PN
2),β-sitosterol(PN
3),and β-sitosterol-3-
O-β-D-glucopyranoside(PN
4).PN
2 is a new natural product. PN
5 is a newcompound.Its structure was elucidated to be 2-thiohydroxy-pyridine-
N-oxide-2-
S-β-
D-glucopyra-noside.Pharmacological tests showed that PN
1 and PN
2 possess strong antimalarial ,antimycotic andantiseptic activities.
