SPECTRAL ANALYSIS OF METHANOL LEAF EXTRACT OF VINCA ROSEA LINN. (CATHARANTHUS ROSEUS) USING GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY- MASS SPECTROMETRY
AbstractCatharanthus roseus (periwinkle) is a medicinal plant that belongs to the Apocynaceae family. All parts of this plant are used as medicine according to ancient medicinal systems. In this research paper, plant leaf samples undergo phytochemical investigation through gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). As the result of GC-MS spectra we identified twenty-three phytochemical compounds in methanolic extract of C. roseus leaves. The identification of phytochemical compounds is based on the peak area, retention time, molecular weight and molecular formula. Compounds present to a major extent are specified with their NMR, IR, and Mass spectrometry data. This spectral analysis helps in the discovery of novel phytochemicals in the plant extract of this plant. We can guess about any novel phytochemicals that can be further used as synthetic units in organic synthesis reactions because natural synthetic units used in any process will always be environmentally friendly and follow green chemistry principles.
