The aim of the present study was to extract oil from Heglig seeds (Balanites aegyptiaca) to indicate phytochemical properties, GC/MS analysis and anti- biological activity (Vitro test). The kernel seeds were ground, and 250 g were transferred into a soxhelt unit and extracted by using normal hexane. The chemical extraction followed by GC-MS analysis result in 25 compounds, the compound which had higher percentage are: 9-Octadecanoic acid (Z)-methyl ester 29.46%, 9, 12-Octadecadienoic acid (Z, Z)-, methyl ester 29.18%, Methyl stearate 18.71%, Hexadecanoic acid, methyl ester 16.70%. and Eicosanoic acid, methyl ester 1.81%. The oil showed activity only against Candida Albicans.

Abstract The chemical composition of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) from seeds of S. thymbra and S. cuneifolia were analyzed by GC/MS. 7 FAMEs were identified from the seeds of S. thymbra mainly as 9-octadecenoic acid methyl ester (43.9%), hexadecanoic acid methyl ester (11.4%), 9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid methyl ester (Z,Z,Z) (30.2%), and octadecanoic acid methyl ester (14.1%), while from the seed of S. cuneifolia 10 FAMEs were obtained with the main components, similar to S. thymbra. These were identified as 9-octadecenoic acid methyl ester (10.1%), hexadecanoic acid methyl ester (methyl palmitate, 34.6%), 9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid methyl ester (Z,Z,Z) (6.3%) and octadecanoic acid methyl ester (1.8%).

Baliospermum montanum (Wild.) Muell. Arg., (Euphorbiaceae) is a well known medicinal plant which is used in treatment of various diseases. The present study was focussed on the separation and investigation of the phytochemical compounds from ethanolic extract by GC-MS technique. The mass spectra of thecompounds found in the extract were matched with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) library. The ethanolic extract revealed the presence of 30 bioactive compounds. The major and minor phytochemical compounds are 2,15-Dithia[3](9,10)anthracenol[3](2,6)pyridinophane,1,2,3,4-tetrahydro showed the highest peak 9.32% followed by phytol-9.08%, Neophytadiene-7.38%, 8,11-Octadecadienoic acid, methyl ester (CAS)-7.06%, 4-ethyl-6-[2-(methoxycarb onyl)ethenyl]-7-[2-(methoxycarbonyl)ethyl]1,3,5,8-tetramethyl-2-vinylporphyrin-6.72%, 2-pentafluorophenylpropanal-6.43%,4,4'-Isopropylidene-bis-(2-cyclo hexyl phenol)-5.91% etc.. Further pharmacological studies are needed to find out the medicinal aspect of these compounds.

Introduction: Medicinal plants still represent untapped sources of novel compounds with potential therapeutic effects for mitigating human maladies.Pterocarpus marsupium, commonly known as Bijasal, is a well-known drug in ayurvedic system of medicine. Materials and methods: The dried bark powder of P.marsupium was extracted by Soxhlet with methanol and analyzed by gas chromatography, while the mass spectra data of the compounds found in the extract was matched with the data available at National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) library. Results: The results of the GC-MS analysis provide different peaksdetermining the presence of 10 major phytocomponents, that are 1-Penten-3-one,1-(2,6,6-trimethyl-1-cyclohexen-1-yl)-; Geranyl isovalerate; 2-Pentadecanone,6, 10, 14-trimethyl;Cyclopropaneoctanal, 2-octyl-; Octadecanoic acid;10-Octadecanoic acid, methyl ester; Heptadecanoic acid, 16-methyl,-methyl ester; Phytol; 4,8,12,16-Tetramethyl heptadecan-4-olide; Dasycarpidan-1-methanol, acetate with different therapeutic activities. Conclusion: The presence of these bioactive compounds justifies that the Pterocarpus marsupiumcan offer a base for using this compound as herbal alternative for the synthesis and development of new drug to treat various infectious diseases. However, isolation of individual phytochemical constituents might be useful to formulate a new novel drug.

The aim of this present investigation was to analyze bioactive compounds, as well as demonstrate the antioxidant activities of nine cultivars of Australian lupin species accompanied by observing the effect of domestic heat processing on their antioxidant activities adopting in vivo and in vitro approaches. Gas chromatography mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) analysis was performed for profiling bioactive compounds present in lupin cultivars. Multiple assay techniques involving quantification of polyphenolics, flavonoids and flavonol, electron transfer (ET) based assay, hydrogen atom transfer (HAT)-based assay and in vivo assays were performed. The major compounds found were hexadecanoic acid methyl ester, 9,12-octadecadienoic acid methyl ester, methyl stearate, lupanine,13-docosenamide and 11-octadecenoic acid (Z)- methyl ester. Mandelup was found to show excellent antioxidant activity. Moreover, Jurien, Gunyidi and Barlock had strong antioxidant activity. Both positive and negative impacts of heat processing were observed on antioxidant activity. Heating and usage of excess water during processing were the key determinants of loss of antioxidants. Negligible loss of antioxidant activity was observed in most of the assays whereas inhibition of both lipid peroxidation (33.53%) and hemolysis of erythrocytes (37.75%) were increased after processing. In addition, in vitro and in vivo antioxidant assays are found to show statistically significant (* p < 0.05 and ** p < 0.01) results, which are supported by the presence of a number of antioxidant compounds in GC-MS analysis.
