Abstract:
The work presented in this paper illustrates the isolation and structure elucidation of secondary metabolites of Hyoscyamus albus. Two new natural source and three known compounds were isolated from the Hyoscyamus albus. Among the isolated compounds, grivilloside H (1) and betulaplatoside (2) were isolated for the first time while scopolamine (3), β-sitosterol (4) and stigmasterol (5) have been reported previously from the same plant. The structures of all the isolated compounds were established by using modern spectroscopic technique (UV, IR, NMR, and EI-MS) and by comparing with those available in literature.

Steps in Outbreak Investigation
Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT
Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
