GC–MS study on ethanolic extract of Vetiveria lawsonii root
Journal Title: The Journal of Phytopharmacology - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
The present study was focused to scrutinize the presence of phytoconstituents in the ethanolic extract of Vetiveria lawsonii root using GC-MS. The GC-MS analysis of Vetiveria lawsonii root was performed using Agilent 6890-JEOL GC-Mate-II Mass Spectrometer. The result of the study showed the presence of six bioactive compounds in the ethanolic extract. On account of this investigation, we can conclude that the ethanolic extract of Vetiveria lawsonii root shows the presence of 6 bioactive phytoconstituents. This might be the cause for the various pharmacological activities of the plant.
