PHYTOCHEMICAL INVESTIGATION AND BIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT OF 12-HYDROXY-OCTADEC-CIS-9-ENOIC ACID ISOLATED FROM SWIETENIA HUMILIS ZUCC. SEED OIL
AbstractThe genus Swietenia belongs to Meliaceae family which consists of 37 genera and about 300 species which is found in most of the parts of India. In present investigation we made an efficient effort to extract ricinoleic acid from the seed oil of Swietenia humilis, Zucc. They are used in medicine folklore to cure various diseases in Mexico, Africa and India. Physicochemical properties of Swietenia humilis Zucc seed oil were identified along with its fatty acid composition. The structure of the ricinoleic acid was confirmed by IR, NMR and Mass spectral studies. The extracted ricinoleic acid was screened for its antimicrobial and anthelmintic activity.
