BIOACTIVE COMPOUNDS PROFILING AND STRUCTURE ELUCIDATION OF MARTYNIA ANNUA L. HERB

The medicinal herbs used by native people of Mexico since ancient times for numerous therapeutic purposes. The plant is inborn to Mexico but is now well familiarized throughout India on wastelands. In India Martynia annua L. is a well recognized small herbaceous annual plant. The present study was carried out with HPTLC, and the results showed that there were many photochemical in Martynia annua L. Pre-coated HPTLC graded plates and autosampler was used to achieve precision, sensitive, significant separation both qualitatively and quantitatively. From HPTLC studies, it has been found that Petroleum-ether, acetone, and methanol extracts contain a mixture of compounds. Therefore, it is established that the pharmacological activity shown by them was due to the cumulative effect of all the compounds in a composite. Total eleven compounds identified; the most prevailing compounds were, Oleic acid (30.61%), 2, 5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (36.3%), 1-Hexyl-2-nitrocyclohexane (31.01%), and Cynidin-3-galactoside (34.14%). Other components were Apigenin-7-A-D, glucoside (4.4%), Pelargonidin-3, 5-diglucoside (12.9%), Ethanol, 2-(2-aminoethoxy) – (16.78%), n-Hexadecanoic acid (17.13%), Eicosanoic acid (18.55%), Chlorogrnic acid (25.07%) and Apigenin (27.07%) also found by GC-MS analysis.
