Phytochemical Analysis of Pergularia Daemia for Its Bioactive Components through Gas Chromatographic Mass Spectrometry (GCMS)
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy (IOSRPHR) - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Pergularia daemia is a hispid perennial herb that grows along the roadsides of India and other tropical and subtropical regions. This medicinal plant is traditionally used to treat various ailments like infantile diarrhea, malarial fever, vatha, convulsion, asthma, poisoning, mental disorder, anemia, leprosy, piles etc. However, the bioactive components of this plant are not yet established fully. In the present study, the ethanol extract of this plant was subjected for phytochemical qualitative analysis through Gas Chromatographic Mass Spectrometry (GCMS) and the bioactive components were identified. The analysis revealed the presence of flavonoid, tannins, alkaloid, glycosides, terpenoids, steroids and carbohydrates. Five bioactive constituents were identified namely 2-hydroxy- methyl ester with retention time 6.607, 2-Methoxy-4-vinylphenol with retention time 8.215, Phthalic acid di-(1-hexen-5-yl) ester with retention time 12.279, l-(+)-Ascorbic acid 2,6-dihexadecanoate with retention time 16.751 and Methyl (Z)-5,11,14,17-eicosatetraenoate with retention time 18.556. The presence of these bioactive constituents in the plant extract may authenticate the scientific evidences for various pharmacological activities and therapeutic potentiality of the plant.
