Abstract:
In this study, phenolic compounds were extracted from roots
of Balanites aegyptiaca, seeds of Hagenia abyssinica and
roots of Cisuss petiolata using 95% ethanol. The crude
ethanolic extracts of the studied species were subjected to
paper chromatography. In this way compound I was isolated
from the roots of Balanites aegyptiaca. The structure of this
isolate was elucidated by a combination of spectral
techniques (UV, IR, NMR and MS) and the following
tentative structure was proposed:
The seeds of Hagenia abyssinica gave compounds II and III.
The following tentative structures were proposed for these
isolates:
IV
Compound IV was isolated from roots of Cisuss petiolata and
The following tentative structure was suggested:
