Secondary metabolites from the unique bamboo, Melocanna baccifera
Phytochemistry of fruits and leaves of the unique bamboo Melocanna
baccifera resulted in the isolation of 27 secondary metabolites,
including 4-Oxabicyclo[3.2.2]nona-1(7),5,8-triene and Verbacine.
Biological activity studies of Verbacine revealed it as an inhibitor of
acetylcholinesterase and as cytotoxic against C6 cancer cells.
