Mixture is a type of mixture in which the components can be seen, as there are two or more phases present. One example of a mixture is air. Air is a homogeneous mixture of the gaseous substances nitrogen, oxygen, and smaller amounts of other substances. Salt, sugar, and many other substances dissolve in water to form homogeneous mixtures. A homogeneous mixture in which there is both a solute and solvent present is also a solution. Mixtures can have any amounts of ingredients. The following table shows the main properties of the three families of mixtures and examples of the three tpes
Phomoxanthone A PXA and PXB were discovered in 2001, and their preparation by isolation from "Phomopsis" fungal cultures was described in the corresponding publication. Briefly, a MeOH extract of a "Phomopsis" culture is mixed with HO and washed with hexane. The aqueous phase is then dried and the residue is dissolved in EtOAc, washed with HO, concentrated and repeatedly purified by size-exclusion chromatography. The resulting mixture of PXA and PXB is separated by HPLC. A modified method, in which the initial extraction is done with EtOAc instead of MeOH and the drying step is skipped, was described in 2013. Phomoxanthone A was
