Abstract

Plan:The investigation was carried out to determine thepossible chemical components from Polycarpaea corymbosa Lam. root and aerial parts.

Methodology: GC-MS was analysed using Agilent (Model 5975C) Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry.

Outcome: GC-MS analysis of methanolic extract of root and aerial part led to identification of 30 and 24 compounds respectively. The components were identified by comparing their retention indices and mass spectra fragmentation patterns with those stored in the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) library. The major constituents reported are n-Hexadecanoic acid in methanolic aerial extract and 5-Hydroxymethyl furfural in methanolic root extract.

Keywords:Polycarpaea corymbosa, n-Hexadecanoic acid, 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural.
