GC-MS analysis of ethanol extract of leaves and aerial parts of Andrographis stellulata C. B. Clarke

The phytochemical profiling of ethanol extract of leaf and whole aerial parts of Andrographis stellulata was initially characterized and compared by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). The results showed the ethanol crude extract of leaf contains bioactive compounds such as Diethyl Phthalate, Phytol, Octadecatrienoic acid, Octadecatrienoic acid, Flavone, 5-hydroxy-7,8-dimethoxy, Genkwanin, Nonacosane, Santonox, Desmethyltangeretin, Tetratriacontane, and α-Tocopherol compounds were determined. Also observed some of the similar bioactive compounds were identified such as Diethyl Phthalate, 2-Hexadecen-1-ol, Tetramethyl-, acetate, Phytol, Phthalic acid, di(2-propylpentyl) ester, Sitosterol, Flavone, 5-hydroxy-7,8-dimethoxy, Genkwanin, Nonacosane, Naphthalene, Octahydro-4,4- Dimethyl, 5-O-Desmethyltangeretin and α-Tocopherol were determined. Both of the extracts showed some bioactive compounds that were similarly presented. The unknown and known bioactive constituents must be studied in the future using pharmacological and biological properties.
