Abstract

Background and objective
The hydroalcoholic extract from the aerial parts of exhibited antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antinociceptive effects. The present study deals with the isolation and identification of the chemical constituents of this hydroalcoholic extract.
Materials and methods
The aerial parts of (Forsskal) were collected from wild plants growing near the El-Alamein area in October 2005. Air-dried and powdered aerial parts of . were extracted with 70% alcohol in HO. The extract was partitioned successively with CHCl, EtOAc, and -BuOH. The structures of the isolated compounds were determined by chemical and spectroscopic analyses.
Results and conclusion
Phytochemical investigation of the alcoholic extract from the aerial parts of revealed 12 compounds, identified as long chain hydroxyl fatty acid 9,12,13-trihydroxydecosan–10,15,19-trienoic acid; --feruloyl tyramine-4ººº--β-D-glucopyranoside; umbelliferone; scopoletin; 3-methyl kaempferol; olean-12-en-3,28-diol; olean-12-en-28-oic acid; stigmasterol-3-β--D-glucopyranoside; 3--[β-D-glucopyranosyl]oleanolic acid; kaempferol 3-O-β-glucopyranoside; and isorhamnetin 3--β-glucopyranoside, in addition to β-sitosterol, stigmasterol, and stigmastanol.
