Abstract

Bioassay-guided fractionation of stems of Engelhardia roxburghiana led to isolation of: four diarylheptanoids, engelheptanoxides A-D (1-4); two cyclic diarylheptanoids, engelhardiols A (5) and B (6); one naphthoquinone dimer, engelharquinonol (7); and one 1-tetralone, (4S)-4,6-dihydroxy-1-tetralone (8), along with 24 known compounds (9-32). The structures of 1-8 were by spectroscopic analysis. Compounds 5, 6, 13, 22, and 23 showed antitubercular activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv with MIC values of 72.7, 62.1, 9.1, 15.3, and 70.1 μM, respectively.
