Vernonia Amygdalina (VA) is a tropical African plant of the Asteraceae family and is occasionally cultivated for its medicinal uses, which include as a treatment for diarrhea, skin wounds, fever mastitis and worms infection. The aim of this study is to isolate and elucidate the structure of some of the chemical constituents from the leaf of Vernonia Amygdalina and its bioactivities. The methanol extract of Vernonia Amygdalina, after repeated chromatography led to the isolation of a different compound, one of this compound (MM-4) is partially characterized based on the spectral data (IR, 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, and DEPT) and extracts from Vernonia Amygdalina has been shown to have antimicrobial activity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
