Abstract | ||||
Two coumarins (osthol and aurapten), two cycloartenols (lupeol and 3-epi-cycloartenol), beside cis-nerolidol were isolated from cyclohexane fraction of the methanolic extract of the leaves of Murraya exotica L. For the first time, we report the presence of aurapten in the plant, cis-nerolidol and lupeol in the species, and 3-epi-cyclolaudenol in the family. The antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities of the isolated compounds were studied. | ||||
