Isolation of Lupeol from the Stem Bark of Leptadenia hastata (Pers.) Decne
Dried stem bark powder of Leptadania hastata was subjected to
maceration with methanol to afford crude methanol extract, which was
partitioned with n-hexane, ethylacetate, chloroform and n- butanol to
afford different their respective fractions. Extensive phytochemical
screening of the n-hexane fraction using column chromatography resulted
to the isolation of a white solid substance. The substance was
identified as of lupeol using IR, 1D \u2013 NMR, 2D \u2013 NMR data
and by comparison with reference spectral data
