PHYTOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF LEAF EXTRACT OF ECLIPTA PROSTRATA (L.) BY GC- MS METHOD
AbstractEclipta prostrata is a perennial herb, distributed in the tropical and sub- tropical regions of the world. The phytochemical investigation was carried out to determine the possible bioactive components from the methanol extract of Eclipta prostrata leaves by Gas Chromatography and Mass Spectroscopy (GC-MS).100 grams of the powdered sample was subjected to the soxhlet extraction followed by rotary evaporator and investigated using Perkin – Elmer GC-MS while the mass spectra of the compounds found in the leaf extract was matched with the National Institute of Standards and Technology library. The GC-MS analysis revealed the presence of various compounds with peak area like 10-Octadeconic acid, methyl ester (43.85), c-Sitosterol (36.45%), Pentadecanic acid,14methyl,methyl ester (15.09%), Diethyl Phthalate (13.96%), Glycine, N[(3a,5a,12a]-3,12-dihydroxy 24-oxocholan-24-yl]- (13.82%), Ethanol,2-(9,12-octadecadienyloxy),(ZZ) (13.73%), Oleic acid, eicosyl ester (6.92%). Extracts and metabolites from this plant have been known to possess pharmacological properties. Bioactive constituents exhibit antimicrobial activity and reported to have a commendable sense of purpose
