Molecular characteristics of woody extracts of Buxus microphylla

ABSTRACT

As one of famous shrubs in China, Buxus microphylla is considered as the important wattle. However, the constituents of Buxus microphylla stem extracts aren't used effectively. Therefore, the molecules of stem extracts in Buxus microphylla are analyzed to further utilize the resources. The results show that the optimal extraction time of ethanol/methanol extraction, petroleum ether/ benzene extraction, and benzene/alcohol extraction are 7h, 7h, and 5h, respectively. The HK-61, HK-63, HK-73, HK-81, HK-82 stem extracts are obtained 1, 9, 1, 27, and 1 components, respectively. The stem extracts of Buxus microphylla is rich in drug and biomedical activities. Buxus microphylla stem is fit to extract 1,5-hexadien-3-yne, squalene, and dibutyl phthalate
