Chemical Evidence
Phytochemistry of Acanthus ilicifolius
AAIRCResearch portal
Phytochemical research has reported multiple compound classes from Acanthus ilicifolius. AAIRC distinguishes a compound reported in plant material from a compound measured in a defined extract or finished product.
Phenylethanoid glycosides
Includes acteoside (verbascoside) and related constituents reported in analytical and isolation studies.
Benzoxazinoid-related chemistry
A recognised research area requiring careful naming, structure confirmation and source checking.
Other reported classes
Published work also discusses flavonoids, lignan-related constituents, sterols, terpenoid-related compounds and phenolics.
Analytical certainty
Identity may be supported by retention time, UV spectrum, mass spectrometry, NMR or comparison with a reference standard. These levels of evidence are not interchangeable.
The occurrence of a constituent in one specimen does not establish its concentration in another origin, harvest, extraction process or finished product.
