Abstract:
The aim of the present study is to analyze the bioactive phytochemical constituents present in the plant of Trichopus zeylanicus ssp. travancoricus Burkill ex K. Narayanan by using GC-MS.
Methods: The dried and coarsely powdered plant materials were extracted using solvent ethanol for 5 hours by soxhlet extraction method. The presence of various phytochemical constituent was analyzed by GC-MS.
Results: Totally 22 chemical constituents were identified. Among these twenty-two compounds detected from ethanolic extract,2-methyl-3-oxy-gamma-pyrone (1.87%), 2-methyl-3-hydroxypyrone (2.77%), Pyranone (4.88%), Coumaran (12.74%), Vanillin (1.24%), Isovanillicacid (1.96%), Chinasaure (Quinic acid) (9.15%), alpha-santonin (4.98%),digiprolactone (1.46%), Ascorbic acid 2,6-dihexadecanoate (0.43%), and phenolic derivates were identified as therapeutically active components.
Conclusion: The obtained phytochemical constituents were identified as potentially active and can be used for the treatment of various diseases. Constituents supporting nutritive value were also identified.
