‘The Gc Ms Analysis Of Ethyl Acetate Extract Of One Herbal Plant, ‘Crotalaria Verrucosa’

Abstract

The present study deals with the GC MS analysis of one medicinal plant, Crotalaria verrucosais common road side plant which is usedtreat scabies, jaundice, cough, biliousness, fever, cardiac problems and oral diseases.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 3,7,11,15-Tetramethyl-2-hexadecen-1-ol, n-Hexadecanoic acid, 3-Chloropropionic acid, tridec-2-ynyl ester,  2-((Octan-2-yloxy)carbonyl)benzoic acid, Squalene, (25R)-5.alpha.-Spirostan-2.alpha.,3.beta.-diol, Campesterol, Stigmasterol, .beta.-Sitosterol, .beta.-Amyrin, Lupeol, 7,8-Epoxylanostan-11-ol, 3-acetoxy-, i-Propyl 9,12,15-octadecatrienoate were observed in the GC MS profile. These molecules have many important medicinal which augur well with the medicinal role of Crotalaria verrucosa as such. Further study, however is requiredto isolate each compound and understand their molecular roles.
