Abstract:The roots of Impatiens glandulifera belong to plants, or part of plants with a high content of α-spinasterol. Chromatographic analysis of roots hexane extract using GC–MS revealed that α-spinasterol is the dominant substance in the freeze-dried roots of Impatiens glandulifera and its content reaches ca. 1 wt%. When the hexane extracts are concentrated, α-spinasterol crystals fall out in the form of tiny needles, so the isolation of this substance from the roots of Impatiens glandulifera is very easy.
