PHYTOCHEMICAL STUDIES OF JASMINUM SAMBAC

Abstract

Jasminum sambac belongs to Oleaceae, found useful in various system of medicine. Volatile oils from the species are extracted possess numerous pharmacological and phytochemical propeties. The leaves are shade dried powdered and subjected to hydroalocoholic extraction, isolation by column chromatography followed by charcterisation using various spectral methods. The present research lead to the seperation of chlorocoumarin, coumarin derivative and kaempferol a flavanoidal derivative were identified and characterized by physical and spectrascopical methods. The present study was an attempt to isolate the phytoconstituents present in the leaves of Jasminum sambac
