The entire mol-ecule of pallidol hexa-acetate {systematic name: (±)-(4bR,5R,9bR,10R)-5,10-bis-[4-(acet-yloxy)phen-yl]-4b,5,9b,10-tetra-hydro-indeno-[2,1-a]indene-1,3,6,8-tetrayl tetra-acetate} is completed by the application of twofold rotational symmetry in the title ethyl acetate solvate, C40H34O12·C4H8O2. The ethyl acetate mol-ecule was highly disordered and was treated with the SQUEEZE rout...

Waterhyacinth is one of the fastest growing plants which disrupt the ecological balance. The plant inspite of its obnoxious nature, is a source of various pharmacologically active compounds. Sterols were isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of waterhyacinth and characterized to be a mixture of stigmasterol and β-sitosterol based on UV, IR, 1D and 2D NMR studies. Quantification of the isolate...

The antioxidant activities of the petroleum ether, ethyl acetate, n-BuOH and water extract fractions from Dracaena cambodiana Pierre ex Gagnep were evaluated in this study. The ethyl acetate fraction contained the highest amount of total phenolics and total flavonoids, and showed the greatest DPPH˙, ABTS+ and Superoxide anion radical-scavenging capacities. The DPPH˙, ABTS+ and Superoxide anion ...

The present study was carried out to find out the antimicrobial activity of aqueous, acetone and ethyl acetate extract of Morus nigra and Citrus limon. Antimicrobial analysis was done by using agar well diffusion method against bacterial pathogens. Ethyl acetate extract of Morus nigra exhibited the maximum zone of inhibition against Staphylococcus aureus, while ethyl acetate extract of Citrus l...

   The aerial parts of Stachys laxa Boiss. and Buhse.from Siah-bishe in Mazandaran province, Stachys trinervis Aitch. and Hemsl. from Karaj in Alborz province, Stachys subaphylla Rech. F. and Stachys turcomanica Trautv. from Golestan province have been collected in May 2008. Total extracts were obtained through MeOH/H2O (80/20) and then partitioned between CHCl3, EtOAc and MeOH. These fractions...

A solvent system consisting of ethyl acetate, ethyl alcohol and water, in the volume ratio of 4.5:4.5:1, was developed and used to extract, at room temperature, betulin from white birch bark and antioxidants from spices (rosemary, thyme, sage, and oregano) and white oak chips. In addition, under reflux conditions, trimyristin was extracted from nutmeg using the same solvent system, and eugenol ...

In the present study, coarse powder of Scindapsus officinalis (Roxb.) Schott. fruit was extracted successively using hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate and 50% ethanol. The ethyl acetate and 50% ethanolic extracts were investigated for its antioxidant activity by using nitric oxide and DPPH radical scavenging methods. The IC value was also calculated. Ascorbic acid was used as standard. Both the...

Hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol extracts of Onopordum espinae leaves were investigated for their antibacterial activities against Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Salmonella enteritidis. The in vitro antibacterial activity of Onopordum espinae extracts was qualitatively assessed by the diameter of inhibition zones (IZ...
