Abstract
Chromatographic separation of the hexane extract and the CH2Cl2 phase from the ethanol extract from leaves of Murraya paniculata yielded one triterpenoid (24-methylene-cycloartan-3β-ol), one phenylpropanoid (methyl caffeate) and seven coumarins [isomeranzine, murranganone acetate, murrayatine, murrangatine, meranzine hydrate, phebalosine and murranganone]. All the isolated coumarins were previously obtained from M. paniculata while 24-methylene-cycloartan- 3β-ol and methyl caffeate have been described for first time in the Murraya genus. The crude extracts, fractions and pure substances were submitted to evaluation of antimicrobial potential against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli which indicated that the coumarin meranzine hydrate showed weak activity.
