“…After partition of the methanolic extract with an EtOAc and water mixture, the aqueous phase was subjected to HP-20 cc to give an acetone-eluted fraction (0.08%), methanol-eluted fraction (2.5%), and a water-eluted fraction (2.3%). The methanol-eluted fraction was further subjected to normal and reversed-phase column chromatographies and finally HPLC to provide lyconosides Ia (1, 0.0059% from the dried fruit), Ib (2, 0.0005%), II (3, 0.0012%), III (4, 0.0004%), and IV (5, 0.0014%), lobofrutoside (6, 0.0047%), solamargine (7, 0.2827%), robeneoside A (8, 0.0268%), and solasonine (9, 0.4456%) together with kaempferol 3-O-a-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1?6)-b-D-glucopyranoside (0.0018%) (Markham et al, 1978) and 5-O-caffeoyl-D-quinic acid (0.0198%) (Fuchs and Spiteller, 1996).…”
