GC-MS ANALYSIS OF METHANOLIC EXTRACT OF UROCHLOA DISTACHYA (L.) T. Q. NGUYEN, LEAVE
AbstractUrochloa distachya (Poaceae), commonly known as Signal grass 20-60 cm long found in tropical Asian origin, Africa, and other countries. Generally, it has been used in fodder, animal feed etc., and least and no therapeutic activities were reported. The present study was established to identify the phytochemicals by using GC-MS of the U. distachya leaves part. The leaves part of the plant was extracted in methanol by using the Soxhlet apparatus. The GC-MS Methanolic extract of U. distachya identified 26 phytocomponents; Z-7-Pentadecenol; t-Butyl hydrogen phthalate, Ricinoleic acid; Methyl -12-hydroxy-9-octadecenoate; Octadecanoic acid; Glycerin; 4, 6-Diphenyl-2-(2-hydroxyphenyl) pyrimidine, Eicosanoid acid, methyl ester, 2-Naphthalenol 2, 3, 4, 4a, 5, 6, 7-octahydro1, 4adimethyl-7-(2-hydroxy-1-methylethyl); Cholest-5-en-3-ol (3á), tetradecanoate; 6-Octadecenoic Acid; Oleic acid, 3-hydroxypropyl ester; Octadecanoic acid, 2, 3-dihydroxypropyl ester; Eicosane; Tert-Hexadecanethiol; 2-[4-methyl-6-(2, 6, 6-trimethylcyclohex-1-enyl) hexa-1, 3, 5-trienyl] cyclohex1en-1-carboxaldehyde; Spiro [4.5] decan-7-one, 1, 8-dimethyl-8, 9-epoxy-4-isopropyl; 9, 12, 15-Octadecatrienoic acid, 2, 3-bis [(trimethylsilyl) oxy] propyl ester, (Z, Z, Z). The phytoconstituents of methanolic extract of U. distachya has shown remarkable activities like antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer etc.
