Abstract:Extracts of Synadenium glaucescens Pax are reported to contain biologically active compounds against bacterial and viral infections. This study aimed at isolating pure compounds from its bioactive extracts as well as evaluating their antibacterial efficacy. A phytochemical investigation of the root and stem barks involved total maceration in methanol (MeOH). The root barks extract was then partitioned by Vacuum Liquid Chromatography (VLC) in a solvent gradient system to afford three fractions of Hexane (Hex), … Show more
