Abstract
The present study was carried out to extract and characterize biologically active secondary metabolites using chromatographic and spectroscopic methods. The plant Ephedra equisetina Bunge was collected in Fergana region of the Republic of Uzbekistan. The species affiliation was determined by comparison with the herbarium specimen. To isolate the plant components, Ephedra equisetina was extracted with ethyl alcohol. Ephedrine alkaloid was isolated for the first time from an alcoholic extract of the aerial part of Ephedra equisetina Bunge, from the population of the Uzbek flora, using chromatography methods. The structure of the alkaloid was established using IR, 1H and 13C NMR, as well as HSQC, HMBC spectroscopy. For the first time, the alkaloid composition of Ephedra equisetina Bunge, which grows in the Fergana region of the Republic of Uzbekistan, has been studied.
