Spectroscopic Characterization of D-Glucitol from Mangifera Indica Root.

Abstract

Mangifera indica is a plant of the family Rutaceae used for treating different ailments such as malaria, sickle cell anaemia, tuberculosis, paralysis and intestinal disorder due to the presence of some bioactive constituents... The goal of this research was to discover and characterise some of the active components found in the plant's stem bark. Between October 2018 and February 2019, the compounds were isolated and characterised at the Strathclyde Institute of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences (SIPBS), University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, United Kingdom. To get the crude extract, the root bark powder was exposed to Soxhlet extraction with hexane, which was fractionated on column using hexane and ethyl acetate in increasing ratios. On spectral examination, white crystals were found (IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, 2D-NMR).
