Abstract

Flacourtia jangomas has been documented as a potential medicinal plant in the traditional medicine systems of tropical countries in East and Southeast Asia. This study was conducted to investigate the phytochemical constituents of F. jangomas collected in Vietnam. The results indicated that four compounds were isolated from F. jangomas stems, including β-sitosterol (1), 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (2), oleanolic acid (3), and methyl ferulate (4). The chemical structures of these compounds were elucidated by NMR analysis and comparison with previously published literature.
