Phytochemical investigation of some active constituents from N-Butanol fraction of Tropaeolum majus L. cultivated in Iraq
Keywords:
Tropaeolum majus, Preparative HPLC, NMRAbstract
Tropaeolum majus, Tropaeolaceae family, is anornamental plant and has a long history of use as a medicinal plant; it is cultivated currently in most countries of the world, including Iraq. The aim of this work was to isolate and identify three compounds from the leaves of Tropaeolum majus (N-butanol fraction) cultivated in Iraq. The constituents were isolated by preparative high-Performance Liquid Chromatography and their structures were determined using precise NMR spectroscopic techniques.
