Screening Test on the Constituents from the Stems of the Genus Thalictrum in Korea

국산 Thalictrum 속 식물 지상부의 성분검색

Preliminary investigations were carried out to isolate the constituents from the stems of genus Thalictrum. Methanol extracts of eight species from the genus were examined by thin layer chromatography. The author observed three different spots with Dragendorff's reagent in Thalictrum actaefolium, whereas none was detected in Thalictrum tuberiferum and Thalictrum simplex. Various fluorescent colors with different Rf values were detected in all species by UV ray, suggesting that each species may have different components.
