GC-MS analysis of bioactive compounds in the plant parts of methanolic extracts of <em>Momordica cymbalaria</em> Fenzl

Abstract

Plants are excellent sources of secondary metabolites that have been used for the treatment of human diseases. The plant Momordica cymbalaria contains different types of phytochemicals like phenols, steroids, flavonoids, alkaloids and tannins. The present investigation was carried out to determine the bioactive compounds present in the different plant parts of Momordica cymbalaria by Gas chromatography-Mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) technique. Chromatograms and bioactive compounds of in vivo leaf, root and in vitro leaf callus methanolic extracts of Momordica cymbalaria are derived by GC-MS technique. 37 compounds were found in leaf methanolic extracts, 20 compounds in vitro leaf callus methanolic extracts and 18 compounds in root methanolic extracts. These are important bioactive compounds n-Hexadecanoic acid, 9-octadecenoic acid methyl ester,

How to Identify Roast Defects in Coffee Beans Based on the Volatile Compound Profile

“…A compound that was identified during the analysis (pregnane-3,11,20,21-tetrol, cyclic 20,21-(butyl boronate), (3α,5β,11β,20R)) is a compound that is commonly found in plants. The same compound has also been identified by, among others, Ahmed et al, 2022 [ 33 ]; Gopu et al, 2021 [ 34 ]; and Aroosa et al, 2019 [ 35 ]. The term “volatile organic compounds” (VOCs) refers to the organic compounds that are present in the atmosphere as gases but can also be liquids or solids under normal conditions of temperature and pressure.…”

GC–MS profiling and antibacterial activity of Solanum khasianum leaf and root extracts

“…The compound 9,10-Secocholesta-5,7,10(19)-triene-3,24,25-triol, (3β,5Z,7E), acts as biocide and anti-corrosion agent in Piper nigrum (Mohammed et al 2016 ). Spirost-8-en-11-one, 3-hydroxy, -(3β,5α,14β,20β,22β,25R) was found to possess anticancer (Rajendran et al 2017 ), estrogenic, progesterogenic and anti-inflammatory effects (Gopu et al 2021 ). Among the bioactive compounds identified in the root methanolic extracts of S. khasianum, the biological activity of some compounds was not yet identified and reported (Table 2 ).…”

Investigation of biochemical profiles derived from different Fritillaria species in Kurdistan Region using GC-MS

“…Total fatty acids in the bulbs of Fritillaria allocated a large area among other bioactive compounds, in which saturated fatty acids were higher than unsaturated fatty acids. The major saturated fatty acids were n-hexadecanoic acid (palmitic acid), which were found to have as antioxidant, hypocholesterolemic, nematicide, pesticide, antimicrobial, anticancer and anti-inflammatory activities [34,35] , Octadecanoic acid (stearic acid) is reported to have antimicrobial and antitumour activities [21,23,25,28] , pentadecanoic acid, 14-methyl, methyl ester is found to have antimicrobial activity [25] , Octadecanoic acid, methyl ester (stearic acid methyl ester) possesses antimicrobial activities [35] , Oleic acid, 3-hydroxypropyl ester, and eicosanoic acid (arachidic acid) are observed to actively work against microbes [23] and Tetradecanoic acid (Myristic acid) is found to have antioxidant, anti-cancer, hypocholesterolemic, nematicide Anti-inflammatory, wound healing, and antimicrobial viabilities [28] .…”

“…Volatile oils including 5-Eicosene (E)-and 1-Heneicosanol were also detected in the respective samples, those compounds are known to have antibacterial, anti-fungal, anti-anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects [25,27] .s Moreover, steroids including gamma-Sitosterol, stigmastan-3,5diene was another bioactive that were detected in the studied extracts, and this compound was found to act as an antiinflammatory agent [35] . Other important compounds that have been shown to possess biological activities were undetectable in the underlying samples, this result was unexpected and is inconsistent with the detectable bio-chemicals in F. thunbergii [40] .…”
