Abstract

Abstract: The first phytochemical analysis on the leaves of Agathis microstachya J.F. Bailey & C.T. White collected in Rome was reported in this work. The study evidenced the presence of four compounds i.e., 7, 4'''-dimethoxy-agathisflavone (1 ), 7, 7''-dimethoxy-cupressuflavone (2 ), dactylifric acid (3 ) and shikimic acid (4 ) which were identified by means of spectroscopic techniques. Compounds (1, 2, 4 ) were reported in the species for the first time as well as this is the second report on the presence of dactylifric acid (3 ) in the whole Araucariaceae family. The absence of diterpenoids from the studied accession is also important. All these chemotaxonomic aspects were discussed. Graphical Abstract: UF0001
