Identification of the Chemical Composition of the American Dwarf Birch’s Leaves

Barks from birch trees are known to contain bioactive compounds that have antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antitumoral and other pharmaceutical properties. In contrast, the specie’s leaves have been scarcely studied although equally as promising to contain similar bioactive molecules.
This Case Study details the separation procedures, including the chromatographic conditions, used for the analysis of the American Dwarf Birch’s leaves.
