Isolation, Identification and Glucose Uptake Activity of Flavonoids from Bouea macrophylla Griff.
Bouea macrophylla Griff. (B. macrophylla) is a tropical fruit-bearing tree belonging to the Anacardiaceae family. Various parts of this plant have many uses including in culinary, cultural as well as ethnopharmacology uses. Previous research by our group on a closely related plant from the same genu...

Bouea macrophylla Griff. (B. macrophylla) is a tropical fruit-bearing tree belonging to the Anacardiaceae family. Various parts of this plant have many uses including in culinary, cultural as well as ethnopharmacology uses.

The objective of the current study was to isolate and identify flavonoids from B. macrophylla. The isolation process involved purifying the twig extract of B. macrophylla using chromatographic techniques, including Vacuum Liquid Chromatography (VLC), Column Chromatography (CC), and preparative-Thin Layer Chromatography (pTLC).
