Plants are first extracted with ethanol (the percentage depends on the method), then dilute the thick extract with water and fractionation by increasing the polarity (petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate and n-butanol). With this method you can divide the terpenoids and ph...
That's a very open question. Plants produce such a wide variety of compounds that there is no single "full method for extraction".
The first step is to do a literature search. Seach for Limonium cabulicum in the scientific literature such as Journal of Natural Products, other American Chemical Society journals, Science Direct, http://www.ebi.ac.uk/chebi/ , http://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ This literature search will also answer your second question- why is it used?
Also, what are you targeting? What sort of biology? Do a literature search on that as well, since this will show the sort of compounds that typically appear in the biology. For example, I noticed that alkaloids tended to appear in muscarinic assays, so when working on that assay, I tended to pay special attention to these compounds.
The information mentioned above will help you screen out known compounds, but novel compounds are often related to the known compounds.
THank you sir Jack Silver for kind of information. sir basically i want to know about whats type of compound the have. that peoples use it for a treatment of stomach
