Phytochemical investigation of Cissus aralioides stems from Côte d’Ivoire

[摘要] As part of research on plants of interest for the floristic biodiversity of Côte d'Ivoire, a phytochemical investigation of the stems of Cissus aralioides, a species with medicinal properties of the botanical family Vitaceae, was produced. The mineral and organic compositions of said extract were determined, respectively by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry and by GC-MS. Elemental chemical analysis revealed considerable levels of trace elements (Fe, Mn, Zn), macro elements (Ca, Mg, P, K), and the presence of other elements (Ba, Ti, La, Cs, Rb, Ta, Cd). Analysis by GC-MS shows the existence of several active ingredients such as phenol acids, flavonoids, stilbenes and phytosterols. A major phytosterol (E-resveratrol) has been isolated from C. aralioides growing in Ivory Coast.
