Phytochemical analysis of the aqueous and methanol extracts of the stem bark of Ceiba pentandra. (a) Polyphenol and flavonoid contents in the aqueous and methanol extracts of C. pentandra (). (b) LC fingerprint of extracts detected with UV 190-600 nm. (c) Identified compounds (1-5) are indicated by peak numbers on the fingerprint. 1: 8-(formyloxy)-8a-hydroxy-4a-methyldecahydro-2-naphthalene carboxylic acid; 2: 2,4,6-trimethoxyphenol; 3: 5,3-dihydroxy-7,4,5-trimethoxyisoflavone; 4: 17-hydroxlinoleic acid; 5: stigmasterol. represents significant difference with respect to the aqueous extract.
