AM was extracted from the stem bark of C. arborescens, wild trees growing in Malaysia. A voucher specimen was deposited at the Herbarium, Department of Biology, University Putra Malaysia. Hexane, chloroform and methanol extracts were collected. The characterization and identification of AM have been done using JOEL ECA-400 spectrometer and mass spectra data was recorded using a Shimadzu GCMS-QP5050 spectrometer (Sidahmed et al., 2013 (link)). The purity of AM was confirmed to be 100% by HPLC-LC 20 AD (Shimadzu, Japan) using reversed-phase C18, 2.5 mm column from Waters with 10% acetonitrile in water. One peak has been observed between 7–7.5 min. The detection of the peak was at 245 nm wavelength using a Gilson absorbance detector (UV–VIS165 Gilson USA).
