Chemical constituents of Croton laevifolius Blume bark / Ahmad Nazif Aziz

Phytochemical investigation on the bark of Malaysian Croton laevifolius Blume (Euphorbiaceae) was carried out with an intention of isolating and identifying its chemical constituents. The bark was successively extracted with the non polar (hexane), medium polar (dichloromethane) and polar (methanol)...
