Alhagi maurorum (A. maurorum) is one of the medicinally important plants belonging to the family leguminasae, commonly known as camel thorn. This research was amid to identify the chemical compounds in the aerial part of A. maurorum using GC-mass analysis. Three solvents with different polarities were used for the extraction of chemical constituents (water, methanol and petroleum ether). The results of GC-MS analysis led to identification of various compounds. In total, thirty-nine compounds from petroleum ether extract, thirty-two compounds in methanolic extract and seventeen compounds in aqueous extract were identified. Majority of the identified compounds have been reported to possess many biological activities. Among them, we reported 10 new anticancer compounds (Vitamin E; Hexadecanoic acid; Stigmast-5-en-3-ol; Phytol,2-hexadecen-1-ol,3,7,11,15-tetramethyl; Squalene; Hexadecanoic acid; 2-hydroxy-1-(hydroxymethyl) ethyl ester; Oxime,methoxy-phenyl,methyl N-hydroxyben-zenecarboximidoate; Ergost-5-en-3-ol; 9,12- Octadecad-ienoic acid and Farnesol) from A. maurorum using three solvent, while the best effective solvent was petroluem ether. Therefore, we report that A. maurorum has great potential to be developed into anticancer drugs.

Some chemical compounds in petroleum ether extract ofMikania micranthaH.B.K. can strongly influence seedling growth ofPhaseolus radiaus. In this study, we provide evidence that the chemical compounds in active fraction chromatographed on normal phase silica gel columns from petroleum ether extract ofM. micranthahave strong activity to promoteP. radiaustaking root. But meanwhile, these chemical compounds could be inhibitors forP. radiausroot growth. Two main chemical constituents, α-Bisabolol and Eudesma-5,11(13)-dien-8,12-olide, in the active fraction were confirmed by GC-MS analysis.

Abstract The pollen of stingless bees is derived from flower pollen mixed with bee digestive enzymes and preserved with honey and nectar. In this study, the volatile compounds present in ethanolic bee pollen extracts (BPEs) from three species of the Malaysian stingless bee were analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Hydrocarbons, sugars and its derivatives, fatty acids, amino acids, alcohol, uridine, aldehyde and an unknown carbamate were detected. Mannitol, the main sugar compounds, represented 54.34% in Trigona thoracica, 39.11% in Trigona apicalis and 33.05% in Trigona itama. Propanoic acid and hexadecanoic acid were the main hydrocarbons present in the extract of Trigona apicalis (4.04%) and Trigona thoracica pollen (1.28%) respectively. The polyunsaturated fatty acids linoleic acid and α-linolenic acid were found in small amounts in all BPEs (0.07-1.11%). The chemical compounds found in BPEs had biological activities, thus bee pollen may be useful in traditional medicine and as a health supplement.

‘Preliminary phytochemical analysis of successive extracts, fluorescence analysis and HPTLC of C. macleodiileaves has been planned in the current study.’ The extracts of the dried coarse powdered of C. macleodii leaves obtained using different polarities solventsin succession were tested for the presence of various active phytoconstituents. Fluorescence analysis was investigated andunsaponifiable fraction of petroleum ether extract was also observed forchromatographic evaluations. The outcome suggest that the existence of various dynamic phytoconstituents having particular solubility in selected solvents of different polarities used in succession. The fluorescent analysis under the visible and UV light by treatment of diverse chemical reagents showed diverse colours. HPTLC profile of unsaponifiable fraction showed 10 and 3 spots at 254 nm and 366 nm radiation respectively. After spraying with diluted H2SO4, it showed 5 and 6 spots at 254 nm and 366 nm radiations respectively. The presence of active constituents in different polarities solvent, which were used in progression suggesting the significance of the solvent as a conclusive factor. Further the data suggests that, the successive extractions using Petroleum ether, chloroform, methanol and water solvents of different polarities would maximize the exploitation of the diverse bioactive compounds. Study concluded that it would be help to isolate and characterize the different pharmacologically dynamic principles of the C. macleodii such as mouth sores, treating jaundice, hepatoprotective and also as an aphrodisiac. It shows their importance for supporting their claimed uses and biological activities such as wound healing.

Abstract Aim: To isolate and determine the chemical constituents of the stem bark of Cordia dichotoma (Forst f.), a plant used for medicinal purpose in folk medicine. Materials and methods: Petroleum ether extract of the stem bark was used for this study. Saponification process was performed to separate fatty acid and unsaponifiable matter. Results: One triterpenoids, α-amyrin was isolated from the bark by using isocratic elution. The chemical compounds isolated, for the first time, were analyzed by GC/MS, IR, and UV. The chemical composition of the fatty acids methyl esters (FAMEs) in bark of Cordia dichotoma were also analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. After methyl-esterification, 17 components were identified in the bark. The derivatization conditions were investigated in order to validate this method. Conclusion: The present analysis revealed that Cordia dichotoma stem bark contains 17 fatty acid. The principal themes of the review highlight the development and application of chromatographic techniques for the separation, isolation and detection of the compounds.
