ABSTRACT
The medicinal plant Atalantia racemosa is effective against a wide range of illnesses. Several secondary metabolites found in the plant are thought to be responsible for its medicinal properties. The purpose of this research is to determine whether or not an ethanolic extract of Atalantia racemosa stems and leaves has anti-inflammatory properties. According to the results of this research, the ethanolic stem extract has powerful effects. Therefore, the ethanolic extract of the stem was used to isolate the component. Then, FTIR, NMR, and mass spectra were used to analyse this isolated molecule. Rutin, or 3, 3', 4', 5, 7-pentahydroxyflavone-3-rutinoside, was determined to be the isolated component based on these spectral analyses. Anti-inflammatory effect of ethanolic stem extract is thus attributed to Rutin.
