have resulted in the isolation of twelve compounds. The structures of these
compounds were elucidated b y using spectroscopic techniques such as NMR, MS,
IR and UV and also by comparison with previous reports.
The stem bark of C. excavata collected from Jabi, Kedah yielded two new
carbazole alkaloids, 1,8-dihydroxy-3-fonnyl-4-prenylcarbazole and 3-
carbomethoxy-2-hydroxy-7 -methoxycarbazole, three known carbazole alkaloids,
c1ausine-H, cIausine-K and cIausine-B together with one coumarin, scopoletin, two
hmonoids (cIausenarin and CEA 10), and one triterpene, stigmasterol. From the
leaves of C. excavata, a known carbazole alkaloid, 3-formyl-2 ,7-
dimethoxycarbazole together with l3-sitosterol and safrole were isolated. The essential oils were obtained by hydrodistillatio n using fresh leaves and
analysed using GC-MS spectrometry. The main essential oil components from
Clausena excavata (Jabi A) were safrole and a-terpinolene, while Jabi B gave
safrole and terpinolene as major constituents. The essential oils from several species
of Citrus of Malaysia have also been investigated. Citronellal and citronellol were
the major components of C. hystrix. The major constituents of C. aurantifolia were
limonene, (z)-citral and (e)-citral. The major components of the oils of C. sinens is
were found to be linalool and b-elemene . Germacrene-D, elernol and b-eudesmol
were the major constituents of the oil of C. microcarpa. The oil of C. maxima
(Kedah) contained significant amounts of sabinene, y-terpinene and |
