Abstract
In this research, the active ingredients of Adonis annua L. have been isolated and determined. From the petroleum ether extract of the plant 3 (n-tricosan,
n-pentacosan and sitosterol), diethylether extract 2 ( sitosterol
and an unknown one), and 80 % methyl alcool extract 3 (adonitol,
adonivernith and orientin) compounds are isolated. For the identification
of these compounds chemical, chromatographic and spectral
analysis are employed. After the identification on thin later chromatography plates
with the Rf values, all the compounds have been determined with
their mix-chromatography, mix-melting points and IR, NMR, UV
and Mass spectra.
The cardioactive heterosides have been only determined with the
aid of thin layer chromatography. The studies to isolate these compouds
are not succeeded.
The quantitative determination of cardioactive heterosides has
been made with a polarimetric method. From this determination the
cardioactive heteroside content of the plant has been found to be
0 . 2 % .
