OBJECTIVE
To investigate the chemical constituents of Grewia biloba and find its bioactive compounds.
METHODS
Compounds were isolated by silica gel, MCI, Sephadex LH-20 and Rp-18 column chromatography, and purified by recrystallization. Their structures were elucidated by spectral analysis and other
A sensitive, rapid, simple, and accurate high performance thin layer chromatographic method has been developed to standardize the bark of Grewia tiliaefolia Vahl. (Family: Tiliaceae) using betulin as an analytical marker. Chloroform extracts of bark from five different sources were used for HPTLC on
Grewia nervosa is a herbal plant used in traditional medicine for different purposes. Bioassay-guided chemical fractionation of G. nervosa roots resulted in an identification of two known and one new compound, namely microgrewiapine A, homomicrogrewiapine, and N-methylmicrocosamine, respectively.
Traditionally, Grewia optiva is widely used for the treatment of many diseases like dysentery, fever, typhoid, diarrhea, eczema, smallpox, malaria and cough.
Methods
Shade-dried roots of G. optiva were extracted with methanol. Based
