Phytochemical and Gc-MS Studies Onindigofera Linnaei Linn.

Abstract

<p class="Default"><em>Indigofera linnaei Linn..is a potential folklore medicinal plant(Fabaceae) used for Aurveda and Siddha systems of medicine. In this study Alkaloids, Carbohydrate Glycoside, Saponin, Flavonoids, tannins and Phytosteroids were identified as the major phytochemical constituents in the methanol,acetone and toluuenefractions of Indigofera linnaei Linn. leaf extract. Their structures were elucidated, on the basis of GC-MS data.2,4,6-Octanerione (9.24%), 4, (methyl cyclopropyl)-1-butene(8.87%), non-ionic acid methyl ester(5.78%), trans-N-methyl-3-oxo-5,6-dimethoxy morphian(9.63%). (IRS, 2SR) 2-Dimethyl (Phenyl) silylpentane-3-ol(7.39%), 2,2-bis (t-phenyl 3,4” dimethyl phosphate)(5.84%), 2-cyclopropylenetic acid(6.49%)these different active phytochemicals have been found to possess a wide range of activities. In conclusion Indigofera linnaei Linn. contains biologically active compounds that may serve as candidate for the discovery of new drugs in the treatment of antimicrobial activities.</em></p

GCMS, phytochemicals and antioxidant activities of in vitro callus extracts of Strobilanthes kunthiana (Nees) T. Anderson ex Benth: An endemic plant of Acanthaceae

“…The result revealed that the presence of 9,12octadecadienoic acid (Z,Z) (linoleicacid) (50.32%) shows highest percentage followed by hexadecanoic acid, methyl ester (palmitic acid methyl ester) (20.69%), 9-octadecenoic acid (Z)-,methyl ester (unsaturated fatty methyl ester) (10.45%), heptadecanoic acid, 16methyl-, methyl ester (stearic acid) (5.78%), 2,6-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4methyl phenol (lipophilic) (4.70%), 3methyl-2-ketobutyric acid tbdms (2.79%), 2,2,3,4-tetramethyl-5-hexen-3ol (2.41%), N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-2-(4-methoxyphenyl) allylamine (allyl amino butane) (1.06%), cyclotrisiloxane, hexamethyl (phenolic compound) (0.94%), benzenesulfonamide (0.87%). (Peter and Venky, 2012).…”

“…N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-2-(4methoxyphenyl) allylamine have liver susceptibility of reactions (Peter and Venky, 2012) followed by benzenesulfonamide reported to have antimalarial (Andrews et al, 2013).…”
