Description
The elemi tree of the Philippines gives a fragrant resin, but its leaves were chemically unexplored until now. Paul Jazon Sarne, Gadah Al-Hamoud, and Katsuyoshi Matsunami went through them compound by compound, in a 2026 study. Chromatography pulled out thirty-five substances, and a battery of spectroscopic methods read their structures.
Six were new sugar-bearing compounds: four of the megastigmane kind and two monoterpenoid ones, one built around an unusual three-ring frame, plus a new parent compound freed from its sugar. Twenty-nine known compounds filled out the inventory. Screening the haul against lung cancer cells and the parasite behind leishmaniasis, the strongest activity came from two known ring-opened triterpenoids, canaric acid and nyctanthic acid. The authors also propose corrections to published data for those two veterans.
