Abstract

The repeated column chromatographic separation of the EtOH extract of Portulaca oleracea afforded seven compounds. The structures of these isolates were identified as bergapten (1), umbelliferone (2), daidzein (3), genistein (4), protocatechuic acid (5), ferulic acid (6), and gallic acid (7) by the analysis of physico-chemical and spectral data. Their antioxidant effect on free radical scavenging was evaluated in the DPPH assay.
