Objective: To investigate the antioxidant activity of ethanolic extract of Terminalia bellerica fruit pulp (TBFP), seed (TBS) and bark (TBB), and identification of phytochemical constituents of said extracts.Methods: The antioxidant potential of T. bellerica (TB) parts was evaluated by free radical scavenging activity (FRSA), superoxide anion radical scavenging activity (SARSA), hydroxyl radical scavenging activity (HRSA) and compared with reference standard quercetin. Lipid peroxidation (LPO), ferric thiocyanate activity (FTC) and reducing power (RP) of the plant extracts were also examined. The phytochemical constituents of said extracts have been quantified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS) method.Results: Ethanolic extract of TBFP exhibited high phenolic content (254.33) followed by TBS (227.33) and TBB (185) mg/g of GAE. TBFP showed lowest IC50 for FRSA (62 µg/ml), SARSA (39 µg/ml) and HRSA (27 µg/ml) and highest RP (3.39 ascorbic acid equivalents/ml). TBB showed lowest IC50 for LPO (48 µg/ml) whereas TBS showed lowest IC50 for FTC (109 µg/ml). Predominant phyto-compounds present in TB extracts were quinic acid, gallic acid, ethyl galate, 9, 12 octadecadienoic acid and glucopyranose in varying concentrations as analyzed by GC-MS.Conclusion: On the basis of correlation of antioxidant studies with total phenolic content (TPC) and GC-MS analysis of different part of TB, it may be concluded that high concentration of total phenolics and other bioactive phytochemicals of TB extracts make it a potential source of nutraceutical antioxidants.

Objective: The present study was performed to identify the phytochemical constituents of leaves and flowers of a plant Spermadictyon suaveolens extracted with four different solvents.Methods: Dried and powdered samples were subjected to soxhlation based on the polarity of the solvents. The extracts were scanned using Ultra Violet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometry with the wavelength ranging from 200–800 nm by comparing the absorption spectrum with the spectra of known compounds, Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectrometry was used to find out the functional groups of the compounds and GC-MS system consisting of a Perkin Elmer Technologies Model Clarus 680 GC equipped with Clarus 600 (EI) was used to identify the metabolites by matching their recorded mass spectra with the standard mass spectra from National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST05. LIB) libraries provided by the software of the GCMS system (TurboMass version 5.4.2).Results: The phytochemical tests indicated the presence of carbohydrates, alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols, tannins, saponins and terpenoids from the chloroform extract of leaves and flowers. UV-visible spectrophotometer results indicated a wavelength range between 230–660 nm for the flower and leaf extracts for major peaks. FT-IR analysis indicated major functional groups such as aromatic, primary, secondary and aliphatic amines, alkanes, carboxylic acids and amides. GC-MS analysis results revealed major bioactive compounds in the crude extracts.Conclusion: Presence of secondary metabolites has been identified from the phytochemical studies. Many phyto-compounds have been identified from the leaves and flowers of using GC-MS analysis. Hence, this medicinal plant may be used as a source for treating many diseases.

Objective: To identify the phytochemical constituents present in ethanolic leaves extract of Taraxacum officinale (T. o) and to elucidate the bioactive compounds. Methods: The fresh leaves of T. officinale (1000g) were shade dried at room temperature for 30 days and the dried leaves were made into a fine powder. The ethanolic leaves extract obtained was dried with help of desiccator and rotatory evaporator. The dried samples tested for phytochemical analysis and bioactive compounds profiling through GC-MS analysis. Results: The phytochemical screening studies showed presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, phenol, cardiac glycosides and anthraquinones. in the leaves extract of T. officinale. GC-MS analysis showed 10 essential bioactive compounds and it revealed the presence of significant anticancer, Antimicrobial  and antidiabetic compounds. Conclusions: The ethanol extract of T. o possess the most important phytochemical compounds and it has various  medicinal  properties to cure dangerous diseases and disorders. Keywords: Taraxacum officinale, Phytochemicals analysis, GC–MS analysis, Biological compounds.

Rodent tuber (Typhonium flagelliforme Lodd.) is an Indonesian herbal plant from Araceae family which is highly potential against several types of cancer. However, anticancer compound of rodent tuber is currently unknown. Rodent tuber has a low genetic diversity due to conventional vegetative propagation. In vitro propagation combined with gamma-irradiation of rodent tuber’s calli had been performed to increase the genetic diversity of rodent tuber. The mutant plants had been acclimatised and analysed with RAPD molecular markers, but the phytochemical constituents of these mutants have never been investigated. This research utilised gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analytical method to identify and measure the relative abundances of major phytochemical constituents of rodent tuber control and mutant plants. GC-MS analysis successfully showed phytochemical constituents of the ethanol extract of rodent tuber plants. Shoots and tubers of mutant clones had at least 8 anticancer compounds whose quantities were higher than control plants. Shoots and tubers of mutant clones also contained new anticancer compounds which were not found in control plants. Shoots of mutant clones contained new anticancer compounds such as 7-pentadecyne, β-sitosterol, hexadecanoic acid methyl ester, cis-vaccenic acid, ergost-5-en-3-ol (campesterol). Tubers of mutant clones contained new anticancer compounds such as β-sitosterol, ethyl palmitate, hexadecanoic acid ethyl ester, vitamin E (alpha tocopherol), ergost-5-en-3-ol (campesterol). Rodent tuber mutant clones are therefore very potential to be developed as anticancer drugs.

The bark of Bauhinia tomentosa L. is used wildly used for the treatment of varies ailments such as inflammation, wound, dysentery, skin diseases and for microbial infections. In the present study the ethanolic extract of the bark of Bauhinia tomentosa L. has been subjected to Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis, while the mass spectra of the compounds found in the extract was matched with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) library. GC-MS analysis revealed the presence of fourteen phytochemical constituents, These compounds were identified by comparing their retention time and peak area with that of literature and by interpretation of mass spectra. The major chemical constituents are 4-(Benzyloxy)-1-methoxy-2(3,7-dimethylocta-2,6-dienyl)-benzene (10.88%), Levodopa (6.39%) and (9E, 12E) - Methyl octadeca-9,12-dienoate (5.68%) which possess many biological activities. Hence these studies pave a platform to screen many bioactive components for wound healing.
