- Abstract
Phytochemical examination of chloroform layer obtained by partitioning of crude methanol extract of stem heartwood of Kigelia pinnata DC. tree afforded 9- compounds (I-IX). Their structures were ascertained by using ¹IR, 13HNMR, CNMR and MS. All purified compounds were evaluated for their plant toxic effects on lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. var. longifolia Lam.). The compounds tecomaquinone-I (II), D- sesamin (VI), paulowin (VII), wodeshiol (VIII) and kigelinone (IX) significantly inhibited the germination (50 - 70%) and radicle growth (55 - 82%) of lettuce.
