PHYTOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS OF LEAF EXTRACT OF PLANT COSTUS SPICATUS BY GCMS METHOD
Abstract
The bioactive components of Costus spicatus  leaves have been evaluated using GC/MS. The chemical compositions of the ethanolic extract of Costus spicatus  leaves were investigated using Perkin-Elmer Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry, while the mass spectra of the compounds found in the extract was matched with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) library. GC/MS analysis of ethanolic extract of Costus spicatus  leaves revealed the existence of 1,2-Ethanediol, monoacetate (2.79%), 1-Tetradecanol (0.09%), Elema-1,3,11(13)-trine-12-ol (0.31%), beta-costol (0.33%), 4,7,10,13,16,19-Docosahexacnoic acid (0.57%), methyl ester (5.15%), Naphtho[1,2-6]furan-3-one (1.27%), 2,3,3a,4,5,5a,6,7,9a,9b- decahydro-3,5a-9-trimethyl-7,9a-peroxy (0.39%), Eremanthin (93.44%), 5-(ethynyl) nona-1,8-dien-5-ol (0.19%), Benzeneacetic acid (0.10%), Alpha-bergamotene (0.38%), 1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, diisooctyl ester (2.55%), Isolongifolene, 4,5-dehydro- (3.68%) by GCMS analysis and the biological activity of each compound was discussed in this paper. As Costus spicatus  can grow and spread easily and because of its higher biomass availability, it can prove as an effective and cheaper drug for various diseases.
