Phytochemical Investigations of the Leaves and Flowers of Hibiscus Rosa-Sinensis L.

The study investigated the chemical constituents of the leaves and flowers of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L., a plant known for its medicinal properties, including treatments for hair loss and scalp conditions. Researchers isolated several compounds from methanolic extracts, including n-tetracosanyl cyclopentylcarboxylate, taraxerol acetate, and β-sitosterol, among others. The structures of these compounds were determined using spectral data analysis and chemical reactions. The findings provided a detailed chemical profile of the plant, supporting its traditional medicinal uses.
