GC-MS ANALYSIS OF BIOACTIVE COMPOUNDS ON ETHYL ACETATE EXTRACT OF CORDIA MONOICA ROXB. LEAVES

R. Sivakumar, A. Dhivya

Objective: To evaluate the bioactive compounds of ethyl extract of Cordia monoica Roxb. leaves using GCMS analysis. Methods: The leaves of the plant were extracted with ethyl acetate and analyzed using gas chromatography- mass spectrometry. The mass spectra of the compounds were matched with the National Institute of standards and technology (NIST) library. Results: The analysis revealed the presence of 20 compounds. Some of the bioactive compounds screened include Phytol acetate, n-hexadecanoic acid, neophytadiene, neopentyl hydroxyl acetate and nonacosane. The compounds were identified by comparing with retention time and peak area and by interpretation of mass spectra. Conclusion: From the result it can be concluded that the bioactive compounds have many applications like antioxidant, anticancer and anti-inflammatory properties.
