Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2016, Vol 11, Issue 3
Abstract
The present study deals with the investigation of bioactive components in four selected medicinal plants identified in Ebonyi State Nigeria using GC/MS. The fresh leaves of Dodder esculenta, Vernonia cinerea, Erythrina senegalensis and Blighia unijugata were collected and dried in Biotechnology laboratory, Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki at room temperature, for two weeks and the dried leaves were grinded into fine powder using mechanical blender and further sieved with 2mm size sieve . This was further extracted with methanol and used for phytochemical identification by GC-MS analysis. The result revealed the presence of the following phytochemicals: fifteen in Erithrina senegalensis, eleven in Dodder esculanta, eight in Blighia unijugata, and seven in Vernonia cinerea respectively. Thus, our results revealed that the selected plants possess important phytocomponents such as nonadecenoic acid hexadecanoic acid, n-pentytacetate, and methyl caprate. Medicinal use of these plants may be attributed to these bioactive components.
