ISOLATION OF SOME COMPOUNDS FROM ETHYL ACETATE EXTRACT FROM THE STEMS OF ROUREA MINOR

Abstract

Rourea minor is a species which belongs to the family of Connaraceae. According to traditional medicine, the species Rourea minor has biological abilities such as antibiotic, antibacterial, hemostatic and wound-healing activities. In this study, from the ethyl acetate extract of Rourea minor stems collected in Ben En national park, Thanh Hoa province, three compounds were isolated including β-sitosterol, vanilic acid and sitoindoside I. The structures of these compounds have been identified by NMR, MS spectroscopic data and comparison with the reported literature.
