[Studies on constituents from roots of Euphorbia hylonoma]

Abstract

Objective: To study the constituents from roots of Euphorbia hylonoma.

Method: Column chromatographic techniques were used for isolation and purification of the chemical constituents and their structures were identified by spectral analysis (IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, 2D-NMR and MS).

Result: Six compounds were isolated and elucidated as nonane (1), bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (2), euphol (3), beta-sitosterol (4), acalyphol (5) and daucosterol (6) respectively.

Conclusion: Compounds 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 were isolated from the plant for the first time.
