GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY AND MASS SPECTROSCOPIC ANALYSIS OF BIOACTIVE CONSTITUENTS IN MANGIFERA INDICA LEAVES EXTRACT

Abstract

The aim of this study was to carry out for identification of bioactive compounds from ethanolic extract of Mangifera indica leaves by Gas chromatography and Mass spectroscopy (GC-MS). GCMS analysis of ethanolic extract was done by standard protocol using the equipment Perkin-Elmer Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry, while the mass spectra of the compounds found in the extract was matched with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) library. The GC-MS analysis of Mangifera indica leaves extract revealed the presence of various compounds like Heptadecane, Tetradecane, Heptadecane,1-Hexadecyne, 6-Dodecanone, Hexadecanoic acid, Hexadecane,Pentadecane, 1-Pentadecanol, 2-Hexadecen-1-ol, 3,7,11,15-tetramethyl and 9,12,15-Octadecatrienoic acid, methyl ester. These findings support the traditional use of Mangifera indica leaves in various disorders.
