(sterculiaceae), nine compounds were isolated and identified: ent-catechin, epicatechin, ent-gallocatechin, epigallocatechin, epiafzelechin-(4¦Â¡ú8)-epicatechin, epicatechin-(4¦Â¡ú8)-catechin (procyanidin b1), epicatechin-(4¦Â¡ú8)-epicatechin (procyanidin b2), epicatechin-(4¦Â¡ú8)-epigallocatechin, and the new compound 4'-o-methyl-epiafzelechin. their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectral and literature data. hplc fingerprint analysis of the semipurified extract was performed on a c18 column, with a mixture of acetonitrile (0.05% trifluoroacetic acid):water (0.05% trifluoroacetic acid) (v/v) with a flow rate of 0.8 ml min-1. the sample injection volume was 100 ¦Ìl and the wavelength was 210 nm. %K guazuma ulmifolia %K condensed tannins %K hplc %K fingerprint. %U http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_abstract&pid=S0103-50532009000600016&lng=en&nrm=iso&tlng=en
