Abstract:
One pyranocoumarin (xanthyletin, 1) and two acridone alkaloids (2',2'-dimethyl-(pyrano5',6':3:4)-1,5-dihydroxy, 6-methoxy, 10-methylacridone, 3, and citpressine-I, 4), were isolated from the roots of Citrus deliciosa Ten (Rutacea). Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods. Reported 13C NMR assignments of alkaloid 3 have been corrected and those of alkaloid 4 are reported for the first time Alkaloid 3 was found to have antispasmodic effect on isolated ileum segments excised from male rabbits.
