Phytoconstituents of Aristolochia cathcartii Hook.f. Leaf Extract; an Analysis through FTIR and GC-MS

FTIR and GC-MS were carried out to reveal the phytocompounds and their functional groups present in the methanolic leaf extracts of A. cathcartii. FTIR analysis resulted a total of five peaks indicated the presence of alcohol, amines, amino acids, alkynes, aldehyde, aliphatic groups, aromatics, unsaturated heterocycles, amides, nitro compound, alkanes, alkenes, phosphorous, and organosilicon compounds. GC-MS analysis resulted a total of 70 peaks consisting different compounds with different retention time, area percentage where 2,6,10,14-Hexadecatetraen-1-ol, 3,7,11,15-tetramethyl-, acetate, (E,E,E)-, Cyclohexanol, 1-methyl-4-(1-methylethyl)-, 3-Ethoxy-1,1,1,5,5,5-hexamethyl-3-(trimethylsilyloxy)trisiloxane, Anthranilic acid, N-methyl-, butyl ester, 3-Hydroxy-7,8-dihydro-.beta.-ionol, Benzophenone, 4-(trimethylsiloxy)-, Pentasiloxane, dodecamethyl-, Disiloxane, 1,3-diethoxy-1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-, 10-epi-γ-Eudesmol were some major compounds.
