Chemical constituents of the leaf of Excoecaria cochinchinensis Lour. var. viridis Merr.

Abstract

Chemical constituents of fresh leaves of the leaves of the Excoecaria cochinchinensis Lour. var. viridis Merr. were isolated and purified by solvent extraction and column chromatrography. There were characterized by means of physical properties, chemical reactions and spectroscopic data. Eight substances were isolated and identified as a mixture of long chain carboxylic acid (C22-C28), beta-sitosterol, beta-sitosteryl-3-O-D-glucopyranoside, methyl 10-epipheophorbide-a, kaempferol, gallic acid, chiro-inositol and KCl.
