Phytochemical Analysis of Danae Racemosa L. Moench Leaves
Year: 2014
Type: article
Abstract: Background: Danae racemosa (L.) Moench
(Ruscus racemosa L., Asparagaceae) is an erect, muchbranched
evergreen shrub, native in the mountains
from Syria to Iran, commonly used for
its decorative green foliage in fresh flower arrangements. Despite its
importance, far too little attention has been paid to gather detailed
documentations of chemical constituent present in extract of D. racemosa.
Methods: In this study, leaves of D. racemosa were collected
from north of Iran, next, extracted via maceration followed by partitioning
through solvents of different polarity. The qualitative–quantitative chemical
composition of the extract was determined using high-performance liquid
chromatography. Results: Two major flavonoids, quercetin and
kaempferol, were separated whilst their identities were confirmed by
UV-visible, shift reagents and 1H-NMR spectroscopy.
