Isolation of Ethyl Acetate Fraction of Methanolic Extract of Cinnamomum malabatrum Leaves by Column Chromatography

Abstract

Cinnamomum malabatrum (Lauraceae) is available in the Western Ghats and south India, the leaves were collected shade dried and made into fine powder form, and the powder was subjected to extraction by different solvents like petroleum ether, methanol, and water. Further, these extracts were subjected to thin layer chromatography. C. malabatrum ethyl acetate fraction of methanolic extract was given strong evidence for active components, based on evidence ethyl acetate fraction was subjected for further chromatographic separation; column chromatography was used for isolation of component of C. malabatrum ethyl acetate fraction of methanolic extract was subjected to column chromatography by using different ratios of mobile phases (in Hexane and Methanol). Flavonoids and phenols found present.
