Identification of Bioactive Phytocomponents of Hydroalcoholic Extract of Enhalus acoroides by Gas Chromatography- Mass Spectrometry Analysis

Sea grass are good source of potent drug which has medicinal properties and able to cure human disease. One such marine plant is the Enhalus acoroides which belong to hydrocharitaeceae family. This marine species are widely distributed in the tropics of Indian and western Pacific Ocean and the species were collected from Ramanathapuram district for further process. This study reveals about the bioactive components present in Enhalus acoroides and identified its biological activity by Gas chromatography Mass spectrometry analysis using hydroalcoholic extract. The compounds present in Enhalus acoroides are Benzoic acid, 2- methyl 7- oxa bicyclol heptanes, 1, 3 Nonadiene, silane, ethoxytriethyl. Biological activities of the compounds present in the sample include antioxidant, hypocholesterolemic, antihypertensive, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, antiviral and anti-hepatotoxic effect.

Objective: The aim was to investigate important bioactive compounds, biological activities, and medicinal importance of Zanthoxylum rhetsa fruits.Methods: The present work was carried out by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method for the identification of different compounds.Result: The methanolic extract of fruits showed 32 chemical compounds which are identified through GC-MS analysis. Among them, some of the compound names and percentage values are as follows: 2-propanone, 1,3-dihydroxy (48.9%), 4H-pyran-4-one,2,3-dihydro-3,5-dihydroxy-6-methyl (33.7%), 2-furancarboxaldehyde, 5-[hydroxymethyl] (50.2%), 1-Heptatriacontanol (34.4%), 9,12-octadecadienoic acid (zz)- (48.6%), cholestan- 3-ol,2-methylene, [3β,5α] (75.0%), 4H-pyran-4-one, 2,3-dihydro-3,5-dihydroxy-6-methyl (90.8), 2-furancarboxaldehyde, 5-[hydroxymethyl] (92.0%), hydroquinone (64.9%), n-hexadecanoic acid (37.5%), octadecanoic acid (28.2%), 9,12,15, octadecatrienoic acid, 2-[(trimethylsiyl]oxy]-1- [(trimethylsiyl]oxy]methyl] ethyl ester, [zzz] (22.6%), 9-hexadecanoic acid (10.3%), digitoxin (18.8%), 8,11,14-eicosatrienoic acid methyl ester, [zzz] (25.5%), and oleic acid (16.5%). Most of the identified compounds in the crude methanolic extracts exhibit some bioactivities, namely anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, hepatoprotective, antioxidant, hypocholesterolemic, nematicide, pesticide, anti-androgenic flavor, hemolytic, 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor, insectifuge, antiarthritic, anti-coronary, cardiovascular, anti-breast cancer, aromatic, and insectifuge. On the basis of the above investigation, the fruits can be recommended as a treasure of bioactive compounds and it plays a promising role in herbal medicine.Conclusion: The present study reveals that fruits of Z. rhetsa contain various bioactive compounds. Digitoxin is recorded in the ripened fruit of Z. rhetsa and it shows the anticancerous and cardiac arrest properties. Hence, in future, this plant will play a promising role in curing cancer.

Sargassum polycystum is a brown seaweed, which has been reported to contain various phytoconstituents especially antimicrobial properties. However, the study on phytochemical components and biological activities of S. polycystum are yet fully understood. Therefore, the objectives of this study are to evaluate the best extraction solvents for S. polycystum and to determine the percentage of phytocomponents obtained in the n-hexane, dichloromethane (DCM) and methanol extracts of S. polycystum via Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. S. polycystum was collected from the coastal area of Sabah, Malaysia. After collection, it was rinsed, dried and extracted with n-hexane, DCM and methanol by soxhlet extraction. The fatty acid compounds (FAME) analysis was done using The Perkin Elmer Turbo Mass Spectrometer. This study showed that methanol is the most efficient solvent as it produced the highest extraction yield with 3.83%, followed by n-hexane with 1.69% and lastly DCM with 0.59% in S. polycystum. On top of that, this study has found 19 phytocomponents in all extraction methods of S. polycystum, which have been proven to possess antibacterial constituents such as palmitic acid, myristic acid, oleic acid, pentadecanoic acid and behenic acid as assessed by GC-MS analysis.
