GC-MS Analysis of Bioactive Components of Aerial parts of Fluggea leucopyrus Willd. (Euphorbiaceae).

ABSTRACT

The present investigation was carried out to analyze the active constituents present in aerial parts of Fluggea leucopyrus (Euphorbiaceae). Fourteen compounds were identified by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. The prevailing compounds were hexadecanoic acid ethyl ester (46.06%), lupeol (13.62%), vitamin E (8.70%), linoleic acid ethyl ester (5.78%), a-sitosterol (5.66%), 9,12- octadecadienoic acid (Z,Z)-, 2- hydroxy-1- (hydroxymethyl) ethyl ester (3.98%), stigmasterol (3.94%), phytol (2.70%), nonadecane, 2-methyl- (2.27%).
