Phytochemical Screening and GC-MS Analysis of Leaf Extract of Pergularia daemia (Forssk) Chiov

This study was implement to actuate the chemical components of Pergularia daemia leaves using Perkin- Elmer Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry, our results of GCMS compounds in the extract was relevant to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) library. GC/MS analysis of ethanolic extract of Pergularia daemia leaves confess the presence Hexadecanoic acid, methyl ester (33.42), Pentadecanoic acid, 14-methyl-methyl ester (36.23, Ethyl 9,12,15-octadecatrienoate (33.12 and 4-(4-Chlorobenzoyl)-1-cyclohexyl-5-tosylamino-1 H-1,2,3-triazole (31.24). Qualitative phytochemical screening of the ethanolic extracts of the leaves revealed the presence of many compounds such as flavonoids, tannins, alkaloids, terpenoids, steroids and phenols. This study result will make a way for the production of herbal medicines for various ailments by using Pergularia daemia leaves.
