Undescribed Cyclohexene and Benzofuran Alkenyl Derivatives from Choerospondias axillaris, a Potential Hypoglycemic Fruit.

ABSTRACT: The fruit of Choerospondias axillaris (Anacardiaceae), known as south wild jujube in China, has been consumed widely in several regions of the world to produce fruit pastille and leathers, juice, jam, and candy. A comprehensive chemical study on the fresh fruits led to the isolation and identification of 18 compounds, including 7 new (1-7) and 11 known (8-18) comprised of 5 alkenyl (cyclohexenols and cyclohexenones) derivatives (1-5), 3 benzofuran derivatives (6-8), 6 flavonoids (9-14) and 4 lignans (15-18). Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis. The known lignans 15-18 were isolated from the genus Choerospondias for the first time. Most of the isol
