QUANTITATIVE PHYTOCHEMICAL AND GC-MS ANALYSIS OF LEAF AND BARK EXTRACT OF DOLICHANDRONE ATROVIRENS

Abstract

The present study deals with the quantitative phytochemical and GC-MS analysis of aqueous methanolic bark and leaf extract of Dolichandrone atrovirens. This study concerns the quantitative screening of total glycosides, saponins, total phenol content, total flavonoid content and vitamin C content. Further assessed the Dolichandrone atrovirens leaf and bark extracts by using GC-MS. The preliminary screening test results in the detection of bioactive principles and GC-MS analysis revealed the presence of 12 compounds in leaf extract and 11 compounds in bark extract. This analytical technique identifies the presence of pharmacologically active constituents present in the metabolic aqueous bark and leaf extract of Dolichandrone atrovirens. So that it can be recommended as a plant of phytopharmaceutical importance
