Abstract

Background: Malvaceae is a large herbal family with more than a hundred genera and thousands of species. Some of these species are well-known for their therapeutic activity, including Alcea. Aim: The purpose of this study is to isolate and identify the biologically and therapeutically active constituents of the flowers and leaves of Alcea kurdica alongside the characterization of the extract composition. Methods: Extraction was done with 70% ethanol using Soxhlet extraction method. The fractionated extracts were condensed, dried, and labeled as (LEA) for organic leaf extract, (LW) for aqueous leaf extract, (FEA) for organic flower extract, and (FW) for aqueous flower extract using ethyl acetate with an equal volume of water and shaken three times. Results: The isolated flavonoids and sterols were identified by comparison with the chromatograms of the standard compounds, which were prepared under standard circumstances. Flavonoids and sterols were found in the leaves and flower extract of Alcea kurdica after HPLC analysis.
