Phytochemical studied on methanol extract of fruits Fissistigma oldhami (Hemsl.) Merr. (Annonaceae) led to the isolation of four flavonoids: 6-hydroxy-5,7,8-trimethoxy flavanone, 2’,5’-dihydroxy-3’,4’,6’-trimethoxy chalcone, quercetin, rutin and two steroids: -sitosterol (5) and -sitosterol-3-O- -D-glucopyranoside (6). The structures of the compounds were established on the basic of spectroscopic methods (UV, IR, MS, 1D-NMR and 2D-NMR) and comparison with literature data. This is first time the 6 compounds isolated from the plant. | Vietnam Journal of Chemistry, International Edition, 54(4): 467-470, 2016 DOI: Chemical constituents of the fruits from Fissistigma oldhamii (Hemsl.)

The genus Fissistigma (Annonaceae) consists of about 80 species, widely distributed in Australia and Asia [1]. This plant has been used as a folklore medicine for liver protection, anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic effects, and anti-tumor action [1], [2]. F. oldhamii (Hemsl.) Merr., a member of the genus Fissistigma, is perennial shrub, 4-6 m tall or climbing shrub, 10-12 m tall [3]. In Vietnam, it is mainly distributed in Laocai, Hagiang, Caobang, Hatinh, Quangtri, Kontum, Gialai and Dongnai [3]. In the previous studies, a new aporphin alkaloid: fissoldin [4]; two cyclopentenon: stigmahamon I and stigmahamon II [5]; a new (R)-4,5-dimethoxy-3-(4′phenyl-2′-oxobutyl)-5H-furan-2-on: fissohamion [6]; a new alkaloid type of hydro-oxadiazine: fissoldhimin [7]; 11 aristolactams such as: stigmalactam, aristolactam AII, aristolactam BIII, aristolactam FII; two dioxoaporphins: .
