Abstract
Phytochemical investigation of the methanol extract of the fruit rind of Myristica malabarica led to the isolation of eight known compounds that were identified as malabaricones A-D, promalabaricones B and C, 1-(2,6-dihydroxyphenyl)tetradecan-1-one, and ericanone by comparison with literature spectroscopic data. The structures of malabaricones A-D, promalabaricone B, and 1-(2,6-dihydroxyphenyl)tetradecan-1-one were confirmed by X-ray crystallography. In vitro assay of the isolated phenols indicated that they exhibited moderate anti-proliferative activity against the A2780 human ovarian cancer cell. Compounds (1, 3, 5, 6 and 7) had the most potent activities, whereas the anti-proliferative activities of compounds 2 and 4 were less potent.
