El-Kamali, Hatil H. published the artcileComparison of the chemical compositions of two different non-polar extracts of Heliotropium sudanicum aerial parts from Sudan, Safety of Methyl docosanoate, the main research area is Heliotropium non polar solvents Sudan.
The aim of this work is to provide answers to impending research questions on compounds present in petroleum ether and n-hexane extracts of the aerial parts of H. sudanicum. Phytochem. anal. of plant extracts was performed by using Gas Chromatog./Mass Spectrometer. Various constituents were identified after matching their mass fragmentation pattern with data available in Gas Chromatog./Mass Spectrometer library of National Institute of Standards Technol. (NIST). Petroleum ether extract of H. sudanicum was characterized by abundance of 1,6,10,14,18,22- Tetracosahexaen-3-ol, 2,6,10,15,19,23-hexamethyl-, (all-E)- (33.99%), Squalene (20.94%), Phytol (7.62%) and Hexatriacontane (7.49%). The constituents of the extract were fatty acid derivatives (15.24%), hydrocarbons (8.41%) and terpenoids (28.56%). H. sudanicum n-hexane extract was characterized by abundance of 9,12-Octadecadienoic acid (Z,Z)-,methyl ester (15.14%), 9,12,15-Octadecatrienoic acid, Me ester (14.67%), Cholesterol (11.12%), Fucosterol (10.30%), gamma.-Sitosterol (9.59%) and 1,6,10,14,18,22- Tetracosahexaen-3-ol, 2,6,10,15,19,23- hexamethyl-, (all-E)- (7.73%). The resulted compounds in this study provide evidence for the utilization of the plant as alternative natural resource of medicinal and industrial interest. To best of our knowledge this is the first report that directly compares the two extraction solvents for active compounds from Heliotropium sudanicum aerial parts shows that petroleum ether should be the solvent of choice.
Annual Research & Review in Biology published new progress about Fatty acids Role: BSU (Biological Study, Unclassified), BIOL (Biological Study). 929-77-1 belongs to class esters-buliding-blocks, name is Methyl docosanoate, and the molecular formula is C23H46O2, Safety of Methyl docosanoate.
