Studying chemical constituents of the stems of Premna serratifolia L.
Main Article Content
Abstract
Premna serratifolia L. is widely used as folk medicine. However, little research has been done on this plant. This study aims to identify its chemical constituents, somehow providing more data related to the plant. Chloroform and ethyl acetate fractionated from ethanol extract by Premna serratifolia L. were isolated into 3 compounds: ethyl p-hydroxycinnamate (PS1), 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde (PS2) and 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (PS3). Their structures were identified by NMR and MS spectroscopic methods, compared with the relevant literature. These compounds were isolated for the first time fromthe stems of Premna serratifolia L.
