SUPERCRITICAL FLUID EXTRACTION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF ACTIVE COMPOUNDS FOR PHARMACEUTICAL IMPORTANCE FROM BOTANICALS OF EUPHORBIACEAE FAMILY

摘要

Euphorbia thymifolia belongs to Euphorbiaceae family, are known as weed. The extracts obtained by SCFE technique and solvent extraction methods have been evaluated for chemical components using GC-MS instrument. The chromatographic analysis showed that supercritical CO_2 extract contained more components than methanol extract. Tricosane hydroquinone, fridoline, 5-hydroxy-4 methoxy-7-methyl flavone and euphorbal have been identified.
