Abstract

The stem bark of Irvingia gabonensis used variously in ethno medicinal treatments in some parts of Nigeria was studied. A silica gel column chromatography of the methanol extract (using only chloroform) eluted a pale yellow crystalline substance identified by means of spectral analyses as 2,3,8-Tri-Me ether ellagic acid.
