Lipophilic Composition from the Husks of Xanthoceras sorbifolia and Their Antitumor and Antioxidant Activities- Juniper Publishers


Xanthoceras sorbifolia Bunge. (XS) is a valuable oilseed crop in North China, and dimethyl phthalate (DMP) present in the husks of XS is also widely used in the insecticides, cosmetics, perfumes, and agricultural detergents. The aim of this study was to investigate the in vitro antitumor and antioxidant activities of the chloroform fraction (XSC) and DMP from the husks of XS. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis led to the identification of DMP as the major constituent of XSC (84.18%). Subsequently, XSC was subjected to the silica-gel chromatography to yield DMP.
