Phytochemical screening and GC-MS analysis of bioactive compounds from Mimusops elengi

Anjana J.C.

Abstract


Plant kingdom represents an enormous reservoir of biologically active compounds and the knowledge of such constituents would further be valuable in discovering the actual value of folkloric remedies. In the present study the phytochemical screening of the aqueous leaf extract of Mimusops elengi was screened wherein the presence of alkaloid, tannin, phenol, flavanoid, steroids, terpenoids were detected. The total antioxidant activity and radical scavenging activity were performed and the scavenging activity increased with the increasing concentration of the extract. The thin layer chromatography was done and confirmed the presence of phenol and flavanoid. The bio constituents were investigated by GCMS analysis. Qualitative identification of the different pharmacologically active constituents was performed by composition of the relative retention times and mass spectra with those of authentic reference compounds by retention indices (RI) and mass spectra.
