Identification of new aliphatic hydroxy ether from the root bark of Ziziphus oenoplia

Abstract

Out of three solid compounds separated from the chloroform extract of the root bark of Ziziphus Oenoplia, recently one was identified as 7a-hydroxy-6-isopropenyl-3,3,3a,5,6a,10,10-11b,octamethyl-hexadecahydro benzo [de]anthracene5-carboxylic acid [1]. On continuation of our interest, the second compound was identified as an acyclic hydroxy ether from IR,1H,13C, 1H-1H COSY,1H-13C HETCOR, 135 DEPT, HMBC, and mass spectral data. Further the antimicrobial studies on the new compound also been done on various stains of pathogenic bacteria and fungi in comparison with the standard.
