Abstract

Abstract:

The phytochemical constituents of Chloroform and methanol extracts of Justicia glauca leaf were analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method. The chloroform and methanol leaf extracts of Justicia glauca were prepared by soxhlet extraction method and concentrated by using rotary evaporator. The concentrated chloroform and methanol extracts were subjected to phytochemical analysis using GC-MS. GC-MS analysis showed the presence of five and six phytocompounds respectively. The phytoconstituents of chloroform extracts are Hexadecanoic acid methyl ester, Nonadecanoic acid 10- methyl, methyl ester, Stearic acid methyl ester, Methyl Oleate, Z-8,10-dodecadienal. The phytocompounds present in methanol extracts are Hexadecanoic acid methyl ester, 1-H-indene-2-butyl-3- hexyl, Octadecanoic acid methyl ester, E,E,Z-1-3-12-nonadecatriene-5,14 diol, 8H-Azecino[5,4-b] indol-8-one,5-ethsylidene- 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,9- octahydro-6-2-hydroxy ethyl)-3- methyl,[S-(E)] and 9-Octadecanoic acid(Z) metyhl ester. The result of the GC-MS analysis showed that both the extracts of chloroform and methanol extract of Justicia glauca contains many pharmacologically important bioactive compounds. Traditionally, Justicia species are used in the treatment of inflammation, gastrointestinal diseases, respiratory tract infection, rheumatism and arthritis. There is need for isolation of these phytocompounds for the therapeutic interest against different diseases.
