Abstract
Two new sphingolipids mucusamide (1) and mucusoside (2) have been isolated from methanol soluble part of the stern bark of Ficus mucuso WELW., together with fifteen known secondary metabolites including cellobiosylsterol (3), beta-sitosterol (4), stigmasterol (5), beta-sitosterol 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (6), lupeol acetate (7), ursolic acid (8), procatechuic acid (9), 2-methyl-5,7-dihydroxychromone 8-C-beta-D-glucoside (10), apigenin (11), (-)-epicatechin (12), (+)-catechin (13), N-benzoyl-L-phenylalanilol (14), alpha-acetylamino-phenylpropyl alpha-benzoylaminophenylpropionate (15), asperphenamate (16) and bejaminamide (17). Structures of compounds 1 and 2 were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis and chemical methods.
