Journal Title: International Journal of Scientific Research and Management - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
An in vitro phytochemical study of ethanolic leaf extract of Pausinystalia yohimbe was done using Gas Chromatography - Mass Spectrometry to identify the presence or absence of erectile compounds. The chromatogram of the leaf of Pausinystalia yohimbe showed eight peaks indicating the presence of eight phytocompounds . T he most abundant compound was Linoleic acid with a [Retention Time: 22.689; Peak Area: 52.99% ; Molecular Formula: C 18 H 32 O 2 ] followed by n - Hexadecanoic acid with [Retention T ime :19.91; Peak Area: 15.87% ; Molecular Formula: C 16 H 32 O 2 ] followed by 2 - Methylene - 11 - hexadecanoic acid with [R etention Time: 21.774 ; Peak Area : 7.57% ; Molecular Formula of C 17 H 28 O 2 ]. O ther components identified were 2,4 - Dimethy - 1,3 - dioxane, n - Hexadecanoic acid, methyl ester, 11 - phenyundecanoic acid, Octadecanoic acid and 3,5 - dihydroxy - 6 - methyl - 2,3 - dihydro - 4H - pyran - 4 - one . The bioactiv ities of Pausinystalia yohimbe leaf extract were anti - carcinogenic, lipid metabolism regulation, antioxidation, anti - atherosclerotic and antifungal from the GCMS result. Therefore the leaf of Pausinystalia yohimbe may be having bioactivities different from the bark which is known to contain yohimbine for erectile disfunction.
