Estudo fitoquímico de Stachytarpheta sessilis Moldenk

Abstract

This work outlines the study of non-volatile chemical composition of Stachytarpheta sessilis, collected in Chorozinho – CE, Brazil, through the investigation of roots, aerial parts and leaves extracts. Ethanol extracts of aerial parts and leaves of S. sessilis were submitted to liquid-liquid partition with hexane, dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) and ethyl acetate (EtOAc). The CH2Cl2 fraction of aerial parts was submitted to successive chromatography and the chrysoeriol flavone and the pentacyclic ursane triterpene ursolic acid were obtained. Successive chromatography of the EtOAc fraction yielded the isolation of glycosyl stigmasterol and luteolin flavone. Chromatographic treatment of the CH2Cl2 fraction from leaves yielded the isolation of a mixture of chrysoeriol and apigenin flavones. Successive chromatography from the hexane extract of aerial parts yielded the isolation of pentacyclic triterpene α and β amyrine as a mixture. The structural characterization of the isolated compounds was possible by spectroscopic analysis, using NMR uni and bidimensional, mass spectrometry and infrared techniques
