Rova Rakotobe* and Rivoarison Randrianasolo
ABSTRACT
Two steroids, Stigmasterol and Sitosterol-β-D-glucoside, and five flavonoids, Kaempferol, Afzelin, Astragalin, Quercetin and Quercitrin were isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of Smilax anceps (Smilacaceae) using combinations of column and thin-layer-chromatographic methods. The structures of the compounds were elucidated on the basis of NMR experiments and literature data.
