However, to the best of our knowledge, G. kola nuts have never been investigated as potential sources of active ingredients in dermocosmetics.

The nuts were subjected to extraction with different solvents, including cyclohexane, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, and methanol. Each extract was purified by column chromatography on silica gel. Pure compounds were characterized by NMR and mass spectrometry and comparison with
