VITEXIN DERIVATIVES AS CHEMICAL MARKERS IN THE DIFFERENTIATION OF THE CLOSELY RELATED SPECIES PASSIFLORA ALATA CURTIS AND PASSIFLORA QUADRANGULARIS LINN

摘要: The species of Passiflora are widely used in folk medicine as mild sedatives and tranquilizers. P. alata quadrangularis distributed throughout South America, with widespread occurrence Brazil Colombia. Due to the difficulty making a botanical distinction between these species, especially absence flowers fruits, use chemical markers for plants offer an alternative method identification. This work describes isolation identification major flavonoids saponins from leaves quadrangularis, well rapid efficient HPLC-DAD methods comparison compounds both species. Vitexin derivatives proposed detection adulterations raw material.
