Chemical profiling of Elaeocarpus serratus L.by GC-MS
摘要
Objective:To determine the possible bioactive components of the ethanolic extract of leaves of Elaeocarpus serratus(E.serratus).Methods:The present research was carried out by using GC-MS analysis,while mass spectra of the compounds found in the extract was matched with the National Institute of Standards and Technology and Wiley library.Results:Thirty components from leaves of the above said plant were identified.The active principles with their retention time,molecular formula,molecular weight and concentration(%)in the ethanol extracts of leaf of E.serratus are obtained.Conclusions:This is the first report of documentation of active constituents from leaves of E.serratus.The research reveals the potential of E.serratus leaves as a good source of bioactive compounds such as fatty acid esters,alcohols,hydrocarbons,aldehydes,alkenes,fatty acids and amides that justify the use of this plant for its various ailments by traditional practitioners.
