Rapid Phytochemical Profiling of Moringa oleifera and Mucuna pruriens Leaf Extracts for their Pharmacological Activity by GC-MS

Mucuna pruriens and Moringa oleifera commonly known as velvet beans and drumstick plant belong to fabaceae and moringaceae family respectively. Purposely in the current research work, leaves are used for preparation of extracts because of their availability in abundance and lot of aspects which are still to be discovered. Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) is a well-known green chemistry technique as there is lesser solvent consumption for analysis of volatile organics with the help of library. Such efficient use of analytical techniques in the world of Natural Therapeutics for revealing the phytopharmaceutical aspect of plants is considered to be a sustainable & ecofriendly approach. Some of the novel components from the said plants having significant medicinal & pharmacological activity are reported in the current research. Amyrins, Lupeol, Sigmasterols and Sitosterols are some of the significant phytoconstituents found from the aforementioned plants.
