DETERMINATION OF PHYTOCHEMICALS AND CHEMICAL CONSTITUENTS OF FIXED OIL FROM LEAVES OF ECLIPTA PROSTRATA
Journal Title: WORLD JOURNAL PHARMACY AND PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCE - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 10
Abstract
Eclipta prostrata is widely used as a medicinal plant belonging to the family of Asteraceae. It is generally used for the traditional medicine. The recent study attempts to evaluate the phytochemicals and fatty acids composition from leaves of E. prostrata. The presence of some phytochemicals like alkaloids, saponins and flavonoids expose the medicinal function of the plant encountered in its therapeutic values. The fatty acid compositions of the petroleum ether extract of leaves of this plant were identified by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrophotometer. Nine compounds were found and the major constituent was methyl palmitate (66.93%).
