The Gc Ms Analysis Of Ethyl Acetate Extract Of One Herbal Plant, ‘Muntingiacalabura

Abstract

The present study deals with the GC MS analysis of one medicinal plant, ‘Muntingiacalabura’. The plant ‘Muntingiacalabura’ was collected from the nearby fields at Chengalpattu, Tamil Nadu. The ethyl acetate extract of the aerial parts of the plant was subjected to GC MS study following standard protocols. I was observed that some very important molecules such asn-Hexadecanoic acid, 3,7,11,15-Tetramethyl-2-hexadecen-1-ol, 1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, mono(2-ethylhexyl) ester, Tridecanol, 2-ethyl-2-methyl-, Squalene, dl-.alpha.-Tocopherol, Campesterol, Stigmasterol, .beta.-Sitosterol, Betulin, Lupeol were shown in the GC MS profile of this plant. The medicinal roles of these molecules clearly indicate the curative properties of Muntingiacalabura, which is used to treat various diseases.
