STUDIES ON THE MEDICINAL PLANT JASMINUM GRANDOFLORUM ETHANOL EXTRACT PHYTOCOMPONENTS BY GCMS ANALYSIS

The present study aimed to investigate the phytochemical composition of Jasminum grandiflorum leaves using GC–MS analysis. Fresh leaves were collected, shade-dried, powdered, and subjected to ethanol extraction. The ethanolic extract was analyzed using a Shimadzu GC–MS system, resulting in the identification of twenty-six bioactive phytocompounds. Major constituents included 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural, Dodecanoic acid, Ricinoleic acid, Phytol, Squalene, Stigmasterol, γ-Sitosterol, and α-Tocopherol-β-D- mannoside. The identified compounds are known for diverse pharmacological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, wound healing, and cytoprotective effects. These findings highlight the potential of Jasminum grandiflorum leaves as a source of bioactive molecules for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications.
