Abstract
Objectives: The plants have metabolites which can be used for medicinal and other uses. There is a need to analyze the plants for such phytochemicals. The present study was designed to screen the phytochemicals present in the leaves of some medicinal plants collected from the catchment areas of river Beas, India.
Methods: The plants studied were Rumex dentatus L., Achyranthes aspera L., Alternanthera philoxeroides (Mart.) Grisb., Lantana camara L., Erigeron bonariensis L. and Sesbania bispinosa (Jacq.)W.F.Wight. Phytochemical profiling was carried out by using GC-MS.
Results: A total of 62 phytochemicals were detected in the leaves of the six species analyzed: R. dentatus (17), A. aspera (26), A. philoxeroides (12), L. camara (20), E. bonariensis (19) and S. bispinosa (17). The major compounds detected were androstan-3-ol, 9-methyl-(3 beta, 5 alpha) (R. dentatus), 2-propenoic acid, 3-phenyl-methyl ester, cinnamic acid methyl ester (A. aspera), benzenepropanoic acid, 3,5-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-hydroxy-methyl ester (A. philoxeroides), olean-18-en-28-oic acid, 3-oxo-methyl ester methyl moronate (L. camara), 1-alpha-18O-1, 25-dihydroxycholecalciferol (E. bonariensis) and glaucic acid (S. bispinosa).
Conclusions: Palmitic acid and benzenepropanoic acid, 3,5-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-hydroxy- methyl ester were the common compounds detected in the six plant species studied. The compounds detected have medicinal and pesticidal activities and can be used commercially for extraction of chemicals.
