The GC MS Analysis of Ethyl Acetate Extract Of ‘Flueggea Leucopyrus

Abstract

The present study deals with the GC MS analysis of one medicinal plant, Flueggealycopyrus. Ethno-pharmacologically this plant is used to treat cough, hay asthma, bowel complaints, diarrhoea, gonorrhoea, constipation, mental illness, kidney stones, cancer and also as a laxative. 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-, 2H-1-Benzopyran-2-one, 7,8-dihydroxy-6-methoxy-, Ethanol, 2-(9-octadecenyloxy)-, (Z)-, dl-.alpha.-Tocopherol, Ursodeoxycholic acid, Stigmasterol were found in the GC MS profile which has far reaching medicinal roles, thereby supporting the medicinal value of this plant.
