GCMS AND HPTLC ANALYSIS OF MUSSEANDA ERYTHROPHYLLA LEAF EXTRACT
Rojin T. S.*
ABSTRACT
Introduction and Aim: Medicinal plants are potent natural source of medicinal products in traditional medicine and are the chemical entities for the development of drugs. The recent years have witnessed a growing interest in using plant based medicines. Therefore it is important to know the phytochemical composition for the better understanding of safety, efficacy and mechanism of how exactly the plant extracts produce the beneficial effect. Hence the present study aimed to identify the phytochemical composition of Mussaenda erythrophylla by gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GCMS) and High performance thin layer chromatography(HPTLC). Methodology Sample preparation for GC-MS: 1 g of Mussaenda erythrophylla leaf powder was extracted in 100 ml of diethyl ether using Soxhlet apparatus. The extract was concentrated to dryness and analyzed for composition by GCMS. Phytochemical analysis using High-performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC): One gram of Keywords: Mussaenda erythrophylla, gas chromatography, n-hexadecenoic acid, antioxidant.
