Coumarins from Murraya paniculata var. zollingeri Endemic to the Timor Islands

Abstract

Four new coumarins, murrangatin-1′-senecioate (1), 5-methoxypanial (2), mexoticin-2′-senecioate (3) and murralongic acid (4), were isolated from the leaves of Murraya paniculata var. zollingeri, together with 23 known coumarins. The structures of the new compounds were elucidated based on spectroscopic data. The taxonomic status of M. paniculata var. zollingeri is briefly discussed, along with its similarity to M. paniculata.
