碩士 === 中國醫藥大學 === 中國藥學研究所碩士班 === 95 === Staurogyne concinnula (HANCE) O. KTZE. is a native plant of Taiwan belonging to the acanthaceae family. It is a folk medicine being used for antihypertension, anti-inflammation, detoxification, datumescence, apoplexy, faucitis, pneumonia, tonsillitis, hepatitis, neuralgia, urethritis, and hysteritis. In the assay for DPPH scavenging effect, the fraction of EtOAc layer showed good free radical scavenging effects. In the phytochemical study, five pure compounds and one mixture were isolated from the Staurogyne concinnula (HANCE) O. KTZE. and were identified as triacontane, oleanolic acid, mixture of β-sitosterol and stigmasterol, β-sitosterol-3-Ο-β-D-glucoside, triacontanol, and triacontanoic acid. Since this plant is rather common in Taiwan, further study and investigation of it’s active constituents may prove it’s potential biological activities and medicinal values.
