The Gc Ms Analysis Of Ethyl Acetate Extract Of One Herbal Plant, ‘Memecylonumbellatum'

Abstract

The present study deals with the GC MS analysis of one medicinal plant, ‘Memecylonumbellatum.’This plant has many ethno-medicinal uses. This plant was collected from nearby hills of Chengalpattu, Tamilnadu. The ethyl acetate extract of the aerial parts of the plant was subjected to GC MS study following standard protocols. It was observed that some very important molecules such as 7-Octadecyne, 2-methyl-, n-Hexadecanoic acid, 2-((Octan-2-yloxy)carbonyl)benzoic acid, Benzeneethanol, 4-hydroxy-, Squalene, Sulfurous acid, butyl heptadecyl ester, dl-.alpha.-Tocopherol, Campesterol, Stigmasterol, .beta.-Sitosterol, .beta.-Amyrin were shown in the GC MS profile of this plant. These molecules have far reaching medicinal roles which correspond to the reports of its medicinal values.
