GC-MS ANALYSIS AND ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY OF SUDANESE CASSIA FISTULA LINN (CAESALPINACEAE) FIXED OIL
Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical and life sciences - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 9
Abstract
Cassia fistula fixed seed oil was studied by GC-MS. The oil was also assessed for antimicrobial activity. Twenty five components were detected by GC-MS analysis. Main constituents are: 9, 12-Octadecadienoic acid methyl ester (24.46%); 9-Octadecenoic acid methyl ester (17.26%); Stigmast-7-en-3-ol (15.75%); Hexadecanoic acid methyl ester(13.55%) and Methyl stearate (7.75%). The antibacterial activity of the oil was evaluated via the diffusion assay against five standard human pathogens (Gram positive: Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis; Gram negative: Escherichia coli and Pseudomonasa aeruginosa and the fungus Candida albicans). The oil was active against all test organisms in the range: 100 - 50mg/ml. On the basis of its promising antimicrobial activity, it seems that this oil is a lead for further opimization.
