Notes:
The components of Pygeum africanum bark extracts, used for the treatment of benign prostatic hypertrophy, were characterized by high resolution gas chromatography (HRGC) and mass spectrometry (MS). Among various compounds n-docosyl trans-ferulate was identified and quantitated by HRGC as a derivative of n-docosanol, which is considered to be one of the active components of the extract. The origin of different Pygeum a. extracts can be studied by eigenvector projection of HRGC profiles with computer assistance.
