‘The Gc Ms Analysis Of Ethyl Acetate Extract Of One Herbal Plant, ‘Microstachys Chamaelea’

Abstract

The present study deals with the GC MS analysis of one medicinal plant, Microstachyschamaelea’. Not much work was done on this species Microstachyschamaelea’ although it has some important ethno-medical use. The 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 Oleyl alcohol, trifluoroacetate, n-Hexadecanoic acid, Methyl 3-cis,9-cis,12-cis-octadecatrienoate, 2-((Octan-2-yloxy)carbonyl)benzoic acid, dl-.alpha.-Tocopherol, .beta.-Sitosterol, Betulin, .alpha.-Amyrin, trimethylsilyl ether were observed in the GC MS profile of this plant. These molecules which show promising medicinal values could contribute to the medicinal role of this plant.
