Figure 4. Identification of the chemical nature of the compound in F3 and F4. FeCl3 solution was sprayed over the spotted fraction on the TLC plate and turned its color into black indicating the presence of the phenolic compound in fractions (A, lane 2). The purity of E8 was checked and compared to the combined fraction Fc (A, lane 3). The fraction E8 was about 70–80% pure with slight impurities at the baseline. A: Spotted compound before spray (lane 1), sprayed with FeCl3-ethanol solution (lane 2). B: Further separation of combined fractions of F3 and F4. Eluted fraction E8 showed urease inhibition. C: sprayed with Dragendorff’s reagent (lane 4), Fc: Combined fractions sprayed with FeCl3 (lane 6), E8: Pure compound (E8) sprayed with FeCl3 (lane 5)
