ABSTRACT

A phytochemical study was conducted on the stems and leaves of Hedychium malayanum (Zingiberaceae). Three steroids namely stigmasterol (1), sitostenone (2) and stigmast-4-ene-3,6-dione (3) as well as one triterpene, lupenone (4) and one oxygenated sesquiterpene, caryophyllene oxide (5) were successfully isolated from the respective stems and leaves, utilizing several chromatographic techniques. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic means (IR, MS, NMR), and by comparison with the literature data.

Keywords: Hedychium malayanum; NMR; steroids; terpenoids; Zingiberaceae

ABSTRAK

Kajian fitokimia dijalankan terhadap batang dan daun Hedychium malayanum (Zingiberaceae). Tiga steroid stigmasterol (1), sitostenon (2) dan stigmast-4-ena-3,6-dion (3) berserta triterpena, lupenon (4) dan seskuiterpena beroksigen, kariofilena oksida (5) berjaya dipisahkan masing-masing daripada batang dan daun, menggunakan beberapa teknik kromatografi. Struktur mereka dikenal pasti dengan cara spektroskopi (IM, SJ, RMN) dan secara perbandingan dengan data kepustakaan.
