Isolation of Potential Antifungal Agent Olean-12-ene-28-oic Acid-3-O-α-L-arabinofuranosyl(1→2)-α-Lrhamnopyranosyl( 1→4)-O-β-D-glucopyranoside from the Seeds of Jussiaea suffruticosa

Abstract

The seeds of Jussiaea suffruticosa is plant were extracted with petroleum ether and methanol by using reflux condenser. The viscous mass extract from methanol yields a light yellow colour compound which responded to positive test for saponin. The antimicrobial activity of saponin was tested to posses high activity for inhibiting the growth of fungi.
