Qualitative analysis of phytochemical in Eulophia nuda using LCMS

Abstract

The beneficial medicinal effects of plant material typically result from combination of secondary products present in plant. The identification and quantification of secondary metabolites plays an important role in exploiting the medicinal potential of plant. Liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry can identify several compounds from plant extract. LC MS analysis of methanolic extract of E. nuda confirmed presence of phenolics, flavonoids, and other bioactive compounds such as alkaloids, toxins and antibiotics.
