Abstract
Nyctanthus arbortristis, a commonly known as Parijatak, has traditionally been used in treatment of rheumatic joint pain, malaria and used as an
expectorant. The stem bark is recommended for curing periodic fever. This study aims to the characterization of the bioactive constituents from extract of
Nyctanthus arbortristis in Petroleum ether, methanol using UV-VIS, FTIR and NMR. Compounds isolated from Nyctanthus arbortristis were identified are
(MNA-I – fraction of ethyl acetate: methanol -1:1) as a 3-Ethoxypropionaldehyde diethyl acetal, 1-Eicosene, 1-Hexadecanol, 2-methyl- and (MNA-II - fraction
of ethyl acetate: methanol -3:7) as a 3’,8,8’-Trimethoxy-3-piperidin-1-yl-2,2’-binaphthyl-1,1’,4,4’-tetrone.
