Phytochemical Analyses of Terminalia Schimperiana (combretaceae) Root Bark Extract to Isolate Stigmasterol
Journal Title: Advanced Journal of Chemistry-Section A (Theoretical, Engineering and Applied Chemistry) - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Phytochemical screening of Terminalia schimperiana (Combretaceae) Root Bark showed presence of flavonoids, tannins, steroid carbohydrates and terpenoides in n-hexane, ethylacetate and methanol as solvents of extraction. Isolated stigmasterol from Terminalia schimperiana was a white-yellow crystal which characterized using 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, COSY, HSQC and HMBC spectral techniques. Research studies clearly revealed that Terminalia schimperiana root bark extract has potential to be exploited in the pharmaceutical firm in the search for stigmasterol related drug from nature.
