ABSTRACT

The phytochemical investigation on the fruit peel of Goniothalamus scortechinii (Selayar Raja Ubat) obtained from Gunung Stong, Kelantan has resulted in the isolation of five compounds namely pinocembrine, altholactone, goniofufurone, goniotriol and goniopypyrone. Their structures were determined extensive ultra violet (UV),  infrared (IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and gas chromatography-mass spectrum (GCMS) analysis.

Keywords: Altholactone; goniofufurone; goniotriol; goniopypyrone; Goniothalamus scortechinii; pinocembrine

ABSTRAK

Kajian fitokimia ke atas kulit buah Goniothalamus scortechinii (Selayar Raja Ubat) yang diperolehi dari Gunung Stong, Kelantan telah berjaya memencilan  lima sebatian iaitu pinosembrin, altholakton, goniofufuron, goniotriol dan goniopipiron.  Kesemua  struktur ditentukan dengan menggunakan teknik spektroskopi, ultra lembayung (UL), inframerah (IM), resonans magnet nukleus (RMN) dan analisis kromatografi gas-spektrum jisim (KGSJ).

Kata kunci: Altolakton; goniofufuron; goniotriol; goniopipiron; Goniothalamus scortechinii;  pinosembrin
