ISOLATION OF β-SITOSTEROL & STIGMASTEROL AS ACTIVE IMMUNOMODULATORY CONSTITUENTS FROM FRUITS OF SOLANUM XANTHOCARPUM (SOLANACEAE)
AbstractGeneral phytochemical screening of the aqueous extract of fruits of Solanum xanthocarpum (Solanaceae) revealed the presence of steroids, terpenes, phenolic compounds, saponins, fatty acids, alkaloids. Fractionation of aqueous extract and activity guided isolation resulted in isolation of two white crystalline powder which were subjected to physical, chemical and spectral identification using IR, 1H‐NMR, 13C‐NMR and LC‐MS. On the basis of the spectral data analysis and chemical reactions, the compounds have been established as β-sitosterol and Stigmasterol.
