Journal Title: International Journal of Pharmacological Research - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 8
Abstract
Abutilon hirtum (Lam.) Sweet (Malvaceae) commonly known as Vadathuthi. It is used as one of the most important drugs in traditional system of medicine to treat various ailments. The plant is used for to its various properties as demulcent, diuretics, anti-diabetics, anthelmintic, laxative, wound healing properties, antibacterial and antifungal properties. The present study revealed the presence of phytochemicals like Diethyl Phthalate (19.171%),Benzaldehyde 4-propyl (5.219%),Methoxyacetic acid 3-tridecyl ester (5.196%),Sulfurous acid dodecyl 2-propyl ester (0.455%),Sulfurous acid, butyl dodecyl ester (0.442%)etc., from the chloroform extracts of leaves in A. hirtum. In the present study an attempt was made to investigate the phytochemical present in the extracts in the preliminary level by using Gas Chromatography coupled with Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). The study will provide information for the correct identification of the crude drug. This will be further considered for pharmacological activities and isolation of individual components would however, help to find new drugs.The results are reported for the first time in A. hirtum.
