New natural compound for the enlargement of the ureter

Abstract

Chemical and phytochemical investigation of the ethanol extract of the roots of Alhagi maurorum led to the isolation of a new aliphatic ester, which was named glyceryl-n-tetracosan-17-ol-1-oate on the basis of spectral data analysis and chemical reactions. This compound, in pure form, was found to enlarge the ureter. © 2013.
