Abstracts

EN

The medicinal plant Peliosanthes micrantha of Vietnam has been studied recently. Two components, one of which was β-sitosterol, were isolated. P. micrantha rhizomes were first extracted by ethanol (PM-R-ET). β-sitosterol was then isolated as a standard compound. High-performance liquid chromatography method (HPLC) was validated and used for the quantification of β-sitosterol in the extract. We concluded in this study that β-sitosterol content was significant at 0.71 mg/g of fresh P. micrantha rhizome extract.
