Non-volatile compounds from Araucaria columnaris (G.Forst.) Hook leaves

The phytochemical analysis on the leaves of a new population of Araucaria columnaris (G.Forst.) Hook. was reported. Seven compounds were identified i.e., 15-agathic acid methyl ester (1), ladanein (2), 7,4′ ,7′′ ,4′′′ -tetra-O-methyl-robustaflavone (3), 3-O-trans-p-coumaroyl-quinic acid (4), 4-O-trans-p-coumaroyl-quinic acid (5), 5-O-trans-p-coumaroyl-quinic acid (6) and shikimic acid (7). Chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques were utilized for this. Their presence is important from the chemophenetic point of view, but further research is necessary to make final conclusions on this species.
