Study on chemical components of Bacopa monnieri (L.) Wettst. Scropulariaceae

Abstract

    Wild grapes (Vitis heyneana Roem. & Schult. Vitaceae) have been used in folk medicine as a medicine: the leaves of the wild grapes are used to treat dysentery, boils and sores, and the roots are used to treat bronchitis; its root bark is used to treat irregular menstruation and leukoplakia and the whole plant is used to treat measles and some other effects. The plant characteristics (morphology, microbiology) have been studied by microsurgery to contribute to the standard of species identification in nature. In addition, after conducting preliminary plant chemistry, the topic has identified a number of groups of compounds in plants including: stilbenoid, megastigman glycoside, triterpenoid, as well as through chromatographic and technical purification techniques, then recrystalized to obtain pure β-sitosterol -3-O-glucoside (Daucosterol) in the Ethyl acetate fraction.
