Bioactive constituents from the leaves of Melastoma Malabathricum L

Phytochemical and bioactivity studies of the leaves of Melastoma malabathricum L. (Melastomataceae) have been investigated. The n-hexane extract yielded α-amyrin, patriscabatrine and auranamide, ethyl acetate extract gave quercetin and quercitrin, and methanol extract gave quercitrin and kaempferol-...
