Enantiomeric ratio of sesamin in the bark of Pentaspadon motleyi (Anacardiaceae)
Abstract: the barks of
Pentaspadon motleyi hook. f. (Anacardiaceae) were collected from the Poso district
in Central Sulawesi, indonesia, in 1992 which it has been used traditionally as
a remedy ormalaria and tuberculosis in
the local area. it was found that a mixture of (+)-sesamin (1) and (-)-sesamin(2)
in a ratio of 100:86 were present together with lupeol in the bark of
Pentaspadon motleyi. this was the frst evidence of sesamin being isolated in
almost equivalent amounts of (+)- and (-)-forms from a single plant species,
and indicates that the biosynthetic pathway of sesamin in the plant is not
enantioselective or fuzzy.
