[Study on the chemical constituents of the leaves of Ipomoea batatas]
Abstract
Objective: To study the chemical constituents of the leaves of Ipomoea batatas.
Methods: The constituents were isolated and purified by silica gel and TLC, and their structures were elucidated by spectroscopy.
Results: Six compounds were isolated from 90% ethanol extract and identified as tetracosane (I ), myristic acid (II), beta-sitosterol (II), beta-carotene (IV), daucosterol (V) and quercetin (VI).
Conclusion: Compounds I, II, IV, V are isolated from this plant for the first time.
