ABSTRACT
PHYTOCHEMICAL STUDY OF ALKALOIDS OF XYLOPIA FERRUGINEA
139 fractions of the ethyl acetate crude extract of Xylopia ferruginea were analyzed fortheir alkaloidal content. The 139 crude fractions were monitored using conventionalmethod of thin layer chromatography (TLC). Two fractions (fractions 28 and 29) gavethe best separation and were found to have the same profile based on their spots' Rfvalue. Fractions 28 and 29 separated into three spots each and the three spots havingsame Rr value of 0.38, 0.49 and 0.58 respectively. Fractions 28 and 29 also give positiveresult of Dragendorff's test by forming red-orange spot after spraying with the reagent.Both fractions were combined and purified using preparative thin layer chromatography(preparative TLC) and then analyzed using IH NMR. The deduced alkaloid found to be anew substituted oxoaporphine alkaloid which employ similar splitting pattern withliriodenine. The deduced alkaloid is possibly a dihydroxy-methoxy-substitutedliriodenine.
