Abstract:
An experiment was conducted to identify the secondary metabolites from in vitro
cultures of Striga asiatica. The cultures were proliferated in solid and liquid media for
six months. The dried sample was extracted in methanol for a week. The methanol
extract was partitioned by using n-BuOH-EtOAc (1: 1) and H20 (1: 1) followed by
MeOH : n-Hexane (1:1) to yield a methanol concentrate, MeOHSGA. Then, it was
separated by thin layer chromatography (TLC) and column chromatography yielding
two hundred and thirteen fractions.
