Cover illustration: The fruit rind of M. malabarica (family: Myristicaceae) is popularly known as Rampatri in Mumbai, India. It is used as an exotic spice in various Indian cuisines and also as a phytomedicine. A detailed phytochemical investigation of a methanol extract of the fruit rind of M. malabarica was carried out and a new type of molecule, an aryl cyclohexyl nonanoid, was isolated as a minor component. It was shown to exhibit anti-proliferative activity against various cancer cell lines. It comprises three molecular components, a 4-hydroxyphenyl ring, a 3,5-dihydroxcyclohexa-2,5-dienone ring and a bridging nonanoyl moiety. In the crystal, molecules are linked by pairs of O-H...O hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers with an R22(36) ring motif. See: Bauri, Foro & Do [Acta Cryst. (2016). E72, 1408-1411].

Research communications

The first papers in this new format were published in July 2014. Research communications are longer papers with new text sections designed to help authors bring out the science behind their structure determinations. Figures are included in the published paper and, for the first time in Acta E, individual reports are not limited to single structure determinations. The Research communications format will make Acta E the natural home for structure determinations with interesting science to report.
