(Forssk.) Exell (), recently has moved to Lophiocarpaceae as per angiospermic plant group (APG) III system, is an annual or short-lived, dwarf, glabrous subshrub, prefers to grow on rocky places and on sand-stones in dry, hot areas of Rajasthan. This is the potential plant with medicinal properties. Vegetative organs under study show antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antiulcer, antimicrobial, and antinociception activity.
This study was carried out to identify the phytoconstituents present in the methanolic and ethyl-acetate extract of root and stem of by GC-MS analysis.
Powdered test samples were sequentially extracted with methanol and ethyl-acetate. The compounds obtained as a result of GC-MS screening were identified on the basis of their retention time, peak area and compared with that of literature available and by interpretation of mass spectra.
GC-MS analysis of a methanolic extract of root detected mome-inositol (49.53%), guanosine (20.91%), and cis-vaccenic acid (9.25%). While ethyl-acetate extract of root analyzed pentadecanoic acid (17.91%), octadecanoic acid (15.01%) and cis-vaccenic acid (12.04%). Methanolic extract of stem detected mome-inositol (75.47%), pentadecanoic acid (6.04%), and 7-tetradecenal, (Z) (4.54%) while ethyl-acetate extract of stem revealed the presence of 1-heptacosanol (17.35%), hexadecanoic acid (17.17%), and octadecanal (12.64%).
The results suggest that (Forssk.) Exell is a plant of potential medicinal value, yielding various bioactive compounds that confirm the application of this plant as a plant-based drug in pharmacy-industry.
Extraction is the most important step in the analysis of bioactive compounds present in botanical preparations. The strength of solvent plays a key role in this process, methanol as well as ethyl-acetate showed better response as far as extraction potency is concerned. Gas chromatography mass spectrometry analysis is highly reliable, and the interpretations of the results are of high-quality. This tool is in particular useful for confirming of the presence of bioactive-substances. The results suggest that (Forssk.) Exell can be used for drug formulations against some major disorders, i.e., cancer, ulcer, tuberculosis, arthritis, etc. GC-MS: Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry, kPa: Kilopascal, RT: Retention time, MF: Molecular formula, MW: Molecular weight.
根据被子植物种系发生学组(APG)III系统,(Forssk.)Exell最近已被归入角果藻科,它是一种一年生或寿命较短的矮小、无毛亚灌木,喜生长在拉贾斯坦邦干燥炎热地区的岩石地带和砂岩上。这是一种具有药用特性的潜在植物。所研究的营养器官显示出抗氧化、抗炎、抗溃疡、抗菌和抗伤害感受活性。
本研究旨在通过气相色谱 - 质谱联用(GC - MS)分析确定(Forssk.)Exell根和茎的甲醇提取物及乙酸乙酯提取物中的植物成分。
将粉末状测试样品依次用甲醇和乙酸乙酯萃取。根据气相色谱 - 质谱联用筛选得到的化合物,依据其保留时间、峰面积进行鉴定,并与现有文献数据以及通过质谱解析结果进行比较。
根的甲醇提取物的GC - MS分析检测到肌醇(49.53%)、鸟苷(20.91%)和顺式 - vaccenic酸(9.25%)。而根的乙酸乙酯提取物分析出十五烷酸(17.91%)、十八烷酸(15.01%)和顺式 - vaccenic酸(12.04%)。茎的甲醇提取物检测到肌醇(75.47%)、十五烷酸(6.04%)和(Z) - 7 - 十四碳烯醛(4.54%),而茎的乙酸乙酯提取物显示存在1 - 二十七醇(17.35%)、十六烷酸(17.17%)和十八醛(12.64%)。
结果表明(Forssk.)Exell是一种具有潜在药用价值的植物,能产生多种生物活性化合物,证实了该植物在制药工业中作为植物源药物的应用。
提取是植物制剂中生物活性化合物分析的最重要步骤。溶剂的强度在这个过程中起着关键作用,就提取效力而言,甲醇以及乙酸乙酯表现出更好的效果。气相色谱 - 质谱联用分析高度可靠,结果解读质量高。该工具对于确认生物活性物质的存在特别有用。结果表明(Forssk.)Exell可用于针对某些主要疾病(如癌症、溃疡、结核病、关节炎等)的药物制剂。GC - MS:气相色谱 - 质谱联用,kPa:千帕,RT:保留时间,MF:分子式,MW:分子量。
