Annonaceae is a large family composed of more than 119 genera and more than 2500 species that are distributed in both tropical and subtropical areas. The genus is a member of Annonaceae family, which encompasses about 175 species, most of which are native to Brazil and tropical America. This plant is commonly found on tropical and subtropical continents. is a commercially important hybrid of and . Phytochemical investigations of leaves, fruit, and seeds have been conducted in limited studies. The purpose of this study was to investigate the constituents of the leaves, fruit pulp, and seeds of because few studies have reported their constituents. Annonaceous acetogenins were identified in the leaves and pulp of for the first time. Twenty compounds were identified: sixteen were acetogenins and four were alkaloids. Additionally, two compounds were isolated, and their structures were confirmed by spectroscopic analysis and compared with the results of previous studies. The concentration of acetogenins in the pulp was very low compared with that in the leaves, whereas the seeds were found to contain the highest concentrations and greatest diversity of compounds.
番荔枝科是一个由 119 个属和 2500 多种植物组成的大科,分布于热带和亚热带地区。该属是番荔枝科的一个成员,包含约 175 种植物,其中大部分原产于巴西和热带美洲。这种植物常见于热带和亚热带大陆。是和的商业上重要的杂种。对叶片、果实和种子的植物化学研究在有限的研究中进行过。本研究的目的是研究因为很少有研究报道它们的成分。首次在叶片和果肉中鉴定出番荔枝科的乙酰生物堿。鉴定出二十种化合物:十六种是乙酰生物堿,四种是生物碱。此外,还分离出两种化合物,并通过光谱分析确定其结构,并与以前的研究结果进行比较。与叶片相比,果肉中的乙酰生物堿浓度非常低,而种子则被发现含有最高浓度和最多样化的化合物。
