Abstract

The present study deals with the GC MS analysis of one medicinal plant, Ziziphusrugosa. The bark of Ziziphusrugosa is used to brew alcohol and a paste from it is used to cure gastric problems. The dry leaves are used to make traditional cheroots. Seeds and fruits are edible. This plant has not been much explored for its medicinal values. 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 asn-Hexadecanoic acid, Octadecanoic acid, 17-methyl-, methyl ester,  Octadecanoic acid, Methyl 9,10-octadecadienoate, Methyl 9,10-octadecadienoate, 3,7,11,15-Tetramethyl-2-hexadecen-1-ol, 2-((Octan-2-yloxy)carbonyl)benzoic acid, Campesterol, Stigmasterol, .beta.-Sitosterol, .beta.-Amyrin, .beta.-Amyrintrimethylsilyl ether, Lupeol, Benzoic acid, octadecyl ester were shown in the GC MS profile of the ethyl acetate leaf extracts of this plant. These molecules could throw some light on the possible medicinal roles of this plant. Further work In this regard is required.
