P28CHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS OF Artocarpusaltilis(Moraceae)S.L. Kai, M. Rahmani*Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, <strong>Universiti</strong> <strong>Putra</strong> <strong>Malaysia</strong>, 43400 <strong>UPM</strong>Serdang, Selangor, <strong>Malaysia</strong>Corresponding author: mawardi@science.upm.edu.myArtocarpusaltilis(Parkinson) Fosberg is a species under Moraceae family. Commonlyknown as breadfruit and is believed to be native to a large area extending from theIndo-Malayan Archipelago the Philippines and the Moluccas (Indonesia) throughNew Guinea to Western Micronesia. Genus Artocarpusis an exceptional rich sourceof phenolic compounds such as prenylated and gerany flavonoids based on previousstudies. One known prenylated flavone, artonin E was isolated by columnchromatographic procedure from the ethyl acetate extract of stem bark orange needleshapedcrystals with melting point244 o C. The structure of the compound wascharacterized with various spectroscopy methods including nuclear magneticresonance spectroscopy (NMR), gas chromatograph-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS),infra-red spectroscopy (IR) and ultra-violet visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis).43 |16 th Industrial Chemistry Seminar: Chemistry- A Passport to a Brighter Future
