Chromatographic and chemical analysis of Sarcostemma viminale R. Br.

[摘要] Sarcostemma viminale R. Br. (family-asclepiadaceae) is known as the “soma” plant in India. It is rich in fatty acids and hydrocarbons and used traditionally with different medicinal use. In the present study first time systemic phytochemical profile of fatty acid was established for S. Viminale. The major fatty acids isolated and identified were1-Hexadecene (C₁₆H₃₂), Hexadecanoic acid (C₁₆H₃₂O₂), Octadecanoic acid (C₁₈H₃₆O₂), 9-Octadecenoic acid (C₁₈H₃₄O₂), 1- Docosene (C₂₂H₄₄). Also eight major compounds were isolated and identified as Eicosane, Docosane, 1-Octadecene, Nonacosane, α- amyrin, β- amyrin, β-Sitosterol and Gallic acid. The structure elucidation was carried out using combination of Gas Chromatographic- Mass Spectroscophy (GC-MS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and Carbon Nuclear magnetic resonance (¹³C NMR) data. This investigation is also supported with standardized phytochemical studies and moderate anti-bacterial activity of the plant.
