Chemical constituents and antioxidant activity from aerial parts of Clusia paralicola and Vismia guianensis

Abstract

Phytochemical studies of aerial parts of Clusia paralicola (Aubl.) Choisy and Vismia guianensis resulted in the isolation of vismiaquinone A, 151-ethoxy (151R)-porphyrinolactone, β-sitosterol, stigmasterol, bis-(2-methyl-heptyl)-phthalate and vitexin. The total phenolic content and antioxidant activity (DPPH•, ABTS•+ and β-carotene oxidation inhibition) of extracts and fractions of C. paralicola and V. guianensis were evaluated.
