摘要
In this work, we report the identification and quantification of catechins by electrochemistry and UV-Vis spectroscopy in Elephantorrhiza elephantina (Fabaceae) and Pentanisia prunelloides (Rubiaceae), both of which are medicinal plants that are widely used in Southern Africa to remedy various ailments. A comparative study of the catechin content as (-)-epicatechin equivalent is reported for the first time, with E. elephantina exhibiting a higher concentration relative to P. prunelloides in both aqueous and methanol extracts.
