New p -Terphenyl from the Fruit of Citrullus colocynthis (Cucurbitaceae)

Abstract

One new substituted p-terphenyl (1) has been isolated along with the known metabolites; cucurbitacin E 2-O-β-D-glucoside (2) and α-amyrin (3) from ethyl acetate and dichloromethane fractions of fruit extract of Citrullus colocynthis. The structure of the new metabolite was elucidated by combined analysis of 1D (¹H and ¹³C) and 2D (HSQC and HMBC correlations) NMR and MS spectral data. The known metabolites were characterized by comparison of the spectral data with those reported in literature.
