Preparation of Hexane Extract of Cordia Obliqua and Its Analysis by Tlc, Ftir and GCMS

Abstract

Since the existence of life, all species are dependent on nature for food, shelter and other requirements. From the inception of civilizations, human beings are also dependent on nature to fulfil their requirements of food, shelter and health with the help of natural sources. Natural compounds have been recognized to perform various biological functions such as; defence against pathogens and medicinal activity etc. The plants are considered to be nature's largest laboratory that synthesizes the myriad of novel compounds and may be considered as inexhaustible source of bioactive compounds. These compounds possess chemo-diversity and broadly categorized as alkaloids, terpenoids, phenols, tannins, saponins and glycosides etc. which are reported to exhibit various biological activities. In this study the hexane extract of Cordia obliqua was prepared and analyzed by FTIR and GCMS to analyze the presence of phytochemicals. GCMS analysis revealed that this extract contains large number of phytochemicals such as 3-Hexen-2-one, n-

Metabolomic profiling and its association with the bio-efficacy of Aspergillus niger strain against Fusarium wilt of guava

“…Compounds having acids, esters, pyran, and furan from A. niger exhibited antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aerogenosa, Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, Staphylococcus aureus , and Klebsiella pneumonia (Imad et al, 2015 ). The compound 1-(3-Ethyloxiranyl) ethenone isolated from Cordia obliqua displayed antimicrobial properties against different microorganisms (Raj and Kumar, 2018 ). The compound 1,2,6-hexanetriol (a replacement of glycerin) is a sugar-derived alcohol, having antifungal activity, and chromenes (a derivative of coumarin) found in our experiment have been reported to show broad biological inhibitory antimicrobial properties (Basanagouda et al, 2010 ; Sahoo and Paidesetty, 2017 ; Ashok et al, 2018 ).…”
