2012

Abstract: Eleven compounds: goniomicin A (1), goniomicin B (2), goniomicin C (3), goniomicin D (4), tapisoidin (5), goniothalamin (6), 9-deoxygoniopypyrone (7), pterodondiol (8), liriodenine (9), benzamide (10) and cinnamic acid (11), were isolated from the stem bark of Goniothalamus tapisoides. All compounds were identified by spectroscopic analysis and, for known compounds, by comparison with published data.

Goniothalamus: Phytochemical and Ethnobotanical Review

Goniothalamus species are used in widespread medicines to cause abortion, antiaging, body pains, rheumatism, skin complaints, typhoid fever, tympanites, stomach ache and fever. The present study reviews the distribution of species along with their synonyms, their traditional usage, and correlated chemical compounds of Goniothalamus species with stress on the authentication of their ethnobotanical uses. The findings in some Goniothalamus species suggest that the chemical nature of their derivatives, such as acetogenins and styryl lactones, may justify the uses of these species against cancer in Asian traditional medicines due to their cytotoxic potential.

Phytochemical screening of Goniothalamus sesquipedalis

Journal of Medicinal Plants Studies, 2018

This study was conducted to perform the phytochemical screening of Goniothalamus sesquipedalis. The plant belongs to the Annonaceae family and locally used analgesic agent. This study provides a scientific basis for the use of Goniothalamus sesquipedalis in traditional medicine. The plant was extracted using Ethanol. The extract was subjected to phytochemical screening. The phytochemical screening of Goniothalamus sesquipedalis seeds showed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, phlobatannin, glycosides, sterol and tannins but showed absence of quinines, phenol and resin.
