Analysis of bioactive compounds from the leaves part of Melastoma malabatrichum, Clidemia hirta, Chromolaena odorata, and Ageratum conyzoides by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry
Abstract:The broad-leaved weeds Melastoma malabathricum, Clidemia hirta, Chromolaena odorata, and Ageratum conyzoides are characterized as potential weeds due to their high nutritional value and abundance of chemical components for different bioactivities. GC-MS analysis was used in the current study to identify potential bioactive components, mainly for insecticidal activity. Extraction from the leaves of these weeds was done using different solvents like ethanol, acetone, and ethyl acetate. The findings of the GC-MS … Show more
