Evaluation of bioactive phytochemicals in leaves extract of Dodonaea angustifolia using gas chromatography and mass spectroscopic technique

Abstract

The aim of this study was to carry out for identification of bioactive compounds from the methanolic extract of Dodonaea angustifolia leaves by Gas chromatography and Mass spectroscopy (GC-MS). GCMS analysis of methanolic extract was done by standard protocol using the equipment Perkin-Elmer Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry. Twenty eight were identified in Dodonaea angustifolia by GC-MS analysis. The GC-MS analysis revealed the presence of various compounds like hexadecanoic acid, methyl ester and 9, 12, 15-octadecatrienoic acid, methyl ester in the methanolic extract of Dodonaea angustifolia. These findings support the traditional use of Dodonaea angustifolia in various disorders.
