‘The Gc Ms Analysis Of Ethyl Acetate Extract Of One Herbal Plant, ‘Gmelina Asiatica’

Abstract

The present study deals with the GC MS analysis of one medicinal plant, ‘Gmelinaasiatica.’Gmelinaasiaticais a wild shrub belonging to family Lamiaceae. Roots, leaves, young shoots of Gmelinaasiatica are considered to be medicinal in traditional medicine. 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-, Ethyl 13-methyl-tetradecanoate, Oleic Acid, 3,7,11,15-Tetramethyl-2-hexadecen-1-ol, Methyl 8,11,14,17-eicosatetraenoate, 2-((Octan-2-yloxy)carbonyl)benzoic acid, Sulfurous acid, butyl heptadecyl ester, trans-Geranylgeraniol, dl-.alpha.-Tocopherol, Oleyl alcohol, trifluoroacetate, Ursodeoxycholic acid, Stigmasterol, .alpha.-N-Normethadol, .beta.-Amyrin, betulin,etc. These molecules have far reaching medicinal roles which correspond to the reports of its medicinal values of Gmelinaasiatica.
