Studies on the chemical constituents of leaves of Phyllanthus emblica (L.)

Abstract

A Phytochemical study was carried out on the leaves of Phyllanthus emblica. By using different chromatographic techniques the separation of the chemical compounds were done and structure of the compounds were elucidated by spectroscopic methods including nuclear magnetic resonance as well as mass spectrometry. Two compounds were isolated and identified; that are quercetin and β-sitosterol.
