Biological Activity of Medicinal Plants

Dragon’s blood plant found in various regions around Yemen used to treat various diseases using the resin of the plant. The literature survey reveals that various solvent extracts of the resin have biological activities including anti microbial and anti oxidant activities. The various molecules have already been isolated was elucidated from the resin extracts of polar solvents. For the first time we made an attempt to isolate bioactive molecule from the hexane extract. We were successful in isolating and purifying the compound from the crude hexane extract of resin which was showing anti microbial and anti inflammatory properties.
