Zenkeramide: a new iso-benzofuranone propanamide and urease inhibitory constituents of Celtis zenkeri Engl stem bark (Ulmaceae)

A new iso-benzofuranone propanamide: 3-(3-oxo-1, 3-dihydroisobenzofuran-1-yl) propanamide (zenkeramide) (1) along with three known compounds: Trans-N-coumaroyltyramine (2), β-Sitosterol (3) and β-sitosterol-3-0-β-D-glucopyranoside (4) were isolated from the ethyl acetate fraction of the stem-bark of Celtis zenkeri Engl (Ulmaceae). The structure of the new compound was elucidated by extensive spectroscopic analysis. The compounds were examined...
