Estudo Fitoquímico de Mimosa artemisiana Heringer e Paula

Abstract

This is the first phytochemical investigation of Mimosa artemisiana (Leguminosae-Mimosoideae). The species was colleted in Paracambi, RJ. Describing the isolation and identification of quercitrin, myricitrin, 3,5,4´-trihydroxi-6,7-dimethoxyflavone (6,7-dimethylkaempferol), flavolignans, 3-O-β-D-glucopyranosil sitosterol, lupeol, sitostenone, stigmastenone, campestenone, sitosterol, stigmasterol, campesterol, methyl indole-3-carboxilate and indole-3-carboxaldehyde in the extracts from the leaves and wood of this plant. This is the first registry of 6,7-dimethoxy,4’-hydroxy-flavona and the flavonolignans in this genera. The isolation of all metabolites was made by chromatographic methods and the structures were established on the basis of IR, MS, 1H and 13C NMR spectra analysis, comparison with literature data and GC-MS of mixtures analysis.
