ISOLATED COMPOUNDS FROM AERIAL PARTS OF ABELMOSCHUS SAGITTIFOLIUS

Abstract

Abelmoschus sagittifolius is a species belonging to the Malvaceae family.
According to traditional medicine, the root tuber of Abelmoschus sagittifolius was used to treat diseases such as cough, constipation, neurasthenia, malnutrition, boils, back pain, and stomach pain. In this study, from Abelmoschus sagittifolius aerial parts collected in Vinh Hung commune, Vinh Loc district, Thanh Hoa province, three compounds were isolated including sitostenone (1), tiliroside (2) and kaempferin (3). The structures of these compounds were identified by NMR, MS spectroscopic data and comparison with the reported literatures.
Keywords: Abelmoschus sagittifolius, isolation, sitostenone, tiliroside, kaempferin.
