Abstract

Indicolactone, anisolactone and a new furocoumarin lactone, 2", 3"-epoxyindicolactone were isolated from the seeds of Murraya koenigii. Their structures were established by spectroscopic methods. This represents the first report of furocoumarins with a monoterpenoid lactone chain in the genus Murraya.


Key Words: Murraya koenigii; Rutaceae; seeds; furocoumarins; monoterpenoid lactones, 2", 3"-epoxyindicolactone
