Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To study the chemical constituents of the bark of Mangifera indica L.
METHODS The constituents were separated and purified by different methods of chromatography, and their structures were elucidated by IR, MS and NMR.
RESULTS Seven compounds were isolated from the bark of M. indica, which were identified as mangiferin(1), daphnoretin(2), myricetin(3), myricitrin(4), rutin(5), quercetin(6) and β-sitosterol(7).
CONCLUSION Mangiferin was the main constituent in the bark of M. indica. Myricetin and myricitrin were obtained from the bark of M. indica for the first time.
