The present study investigates the presence of phytochemical compounds in the ethanol and methanol extract of Curculigo orchiodes, it was elucidated using Gas chromatography-Mass spectrometry. Qualitative phytochemical compounds of both extracts reveal the presence of flavonoids, tannins, phenol, protein, cardiac glycosides, terpenoids, and carbohydrate and have a higher level compounds in ethanol extracts of C.orchiodes. Fifteen bioactive phytocompounds were identified in the ethanol and methanol extract of C.orchiodes. GCMS reveal the presence of 2-Furanmethanol, Cyclopentanone, 2-Methyl, Formic acid, 2-Propenyl ester, 2,5-Furandione, 3-Methyl, phenol 3-Methoxy-, 2-Methoxy-4-vinyl phenol, 1,2-Benzenediol, 3-methoxy-, n-Hexadecanoic acid and phytol which has medicinal property such as antibacterial, antiviral, anticancer and antioxidant. C.orchiodes was assayed for antibacterial activity against the tested microorganisms such as Escherichia Coli, Klebsiella Pneumonia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa using well diffusion method. Ethanol extract show the highest zone of inhibition ranging from 3.4±0.200 to 5.28±0.350 compared with standard antibiotics. From this study, results highlight that the ethanol extract of C.orchiodes will be a valuable source for the production of herbal medicine and maintaining human health.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
