Qualitative Screening of Secondary Metabolites from Sambucus Ebulus Roots by Multiple Analytical Techniques

摘要

The interest in the separation of secondary metabolites in plants is huge, given the unlimited resource provided by the native species that are not yet evaluated. The aim of this study was to achieve a phytochemical study to explain the healing properties of Sambucus ebulus using modern analytical techniques (GC-MS, HPLC) in order to determine certain compounds with biological activity of the Sambucus ebulus species. Among the secondary metabolites identified in Sambucus ebulus exercising a wide range of biological activities on living organisms can be listed: quinic acid, 6-methyl-2-methoxy pyrazine, 2-methoxy-6-(2-propyp-phenol. By HPLC was succeeded the separation of anthocyanins and two terpenoids: α - and β amyrin.
