The chemical composition of essential oils, fatty acids and unsaponifiable of the limbs, foliars sheaths and rhizomes of Siphonochilus aethiopicus were studied by GC/MS. In petroleum ether extracts, the lipidic fractions are marked by significant rates (7.41 to 23.45 %) of fatty acids in C18. The majority of unsaponifiable compounds from the limbs, foliars sheaths and rhizomes of S. aethiopicus are essentially consist of terpenoïds accompanied by heneicosane (6.2 to 21.6 %). Otherwise, S. aethiopicus contains varied rates of catechic saponins, tanins and leucoanthocyanes in its organs.
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.
