Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 7
Abstract
Leaves and stems of murraya koengii were collected from the PCSIR locality and their essentials oils were extracted through hydrodistillation using Dean Stark apparatus. Extracted both oils were dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and 0.17% and 0.06% yields were obtained for leaves and stems respectively. Their GC-MS analysis was performed for chemical constituents. Major constituents in the essential oil of leaves were α-pinene 2.7%, spathulenol 19.10%, caryophyllene 18.4%, caryophyllene oxide 17.6%, α-caryophyllene 10.2%, β-eleminene 9.1%, and germacerene 4.3% and while in the stem essential oil major constituents were α-pinene 4.0%, β-terpineol 2.9%, α-caryophyllene 7.2%, epiglubolol 5.4%, spathulenol 6.6%, clarene oxide 1.2%, heptatrioctanol 2.3% and phytol 1.9% respectively. Their antioxidant activity of both essential oils was measured by using DPPH and it was concentration dependant. Maximum activity was found at 100 μl was 78% and 59% for essential oil of leaves and stem respectively as compared to ascorbic acid.
