tabernaemontana inconspicua/adenosine

An extract of a suspension culture of Tabernaemontana pandacaqui Poir. was fractionated by centrifugal partition chromatography. Aliquots were tested in an adenosine A1 receptor binding assay. This led to the isolation and identification of linoleic acid, which proved to be a noncompetitive

A procedure for prefractionation of crude plant extracts by centrifugal partition chromatography (CPC) has been developed to enable rapid identification of known-positive compounds or false-positive compounds and to increase the chance of identifying minor unknown-active compounds. The study
