The Gc Ms Analysis Of Ethyl Acetate Extract Of One Herbal Plant, ‘Aristolochia Bracteolata’

Abstract

The present study deals with the GC MS analysis of one medicinal plant, ‘Aristolochiabracteata. Ethno-pharmacologically this plant has medicinal roles such as stimulant, tonic, purgative and emmenagouge. This plant was collected from nearby fields 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 1,2,4-Cyclopentanetrione, 3-methyl-, 4(1H)-Pyridone, trans-3-Methyl-2-n-propylthiophane, 3-Hydroxydecanoic acid, Acetic acid, trifluoro-, anhydride, Lactose, 2-(N-Morpholinyl)ethylphosphine, Benzaldehyde, 2-hydroxy-6-methyl-, Trifluoromethyl t-butyl disulphide, .beta.-D-Glucopyranose, 1,6-anhydro-, 9-Decenoic acid, 1,6-Anhydro-.beta.-D-glucofuranose, Myo-Inositol, 4-C-methyl-, alpha.-D-Xylofuranoside, methyl 3-O-methyl-, n-Hexadecanoic acid etc. were found in the GC MS profile of this plant which have far reaching medicinal roles, thereby supporting the medicinal value of this plant.
