ernonia amygdalina

(VA) is a tropical African plant of the

Asteraceae family and is occasionally cultivated for its

medicinal uses, which include as a treatment for diarrhea, skin

wounds, fever mastitis and warms infection. The aim of this

study is to isolate and elucidate the structure of some of the

chemical constituents from the leaf of

Vernonia amygdalina

and its bioactivities. Methanol extract of

Vernonia amygdalina

after repeated chromatography led to the isolation of a different

compound,oneofthiscompound(MM-4)ispartiallycharacterized

based on the spectral data (IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and DEPT)

and extracts from Vernonia amygdalina have been shown to have

antimicrobial activity.
