The Oregon grape contains many well-studied plant products, mainly from the alkaloid class of molecules. However, terpenoids and flavonoids are not as well-studied. The solvents commonly used in extracting alkaloids and other plant natural products are often toxic and not recyclable. This research presents a new solvent system involving mixtures of solids at their eutectic point to extract compounds with potential pharmaceutical benefits from the Oregon grape.
