Chemical investigation and biological activity of phytoconstituents from methanol extract of Abutilon indicum leaves
Abstract
Eudesmic acid, ferulic acid and caffeic acid have been isolated from the methanol extract of leaves of the plant Abutilon indicum. The concerted use of IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, mass spectroscopy and chemical methods allowed the identification of these compounds. The antibacterial and antifungal activity has also been studied for these isolated compounds.
