ABSTRACT: Corchorus depressus (Linn.) is recognized for its diverse medicinal properties, including its efficacy in wound healing, antimicrobial activity, and cytotoxic effects on cancer cells. The current study sought to isolate and structurally characterize new compounds from two solvent extracts of Corchorus depressus (Linn.) leaves. Corchorus depressus (Linn.) dried leaves were extracted using cold maceration with methanol and ethanol. Column chromatography was used to separate four phytoconstituents: ME-1, ME-2, ETH-1, and ETH-2. The isolation and precise structural characterization of phytoconstituents from Corchorus depressus (Linn.) were accomplished through CHN analysis, IR, NMR, and mass spectral studies. The present work not only enriches the phytochemical profile of the plant but also opens avenues for evaluating the bioactive potential of its constituents.
