Abstract:
In the present investigation the fruits of Argyreia nervosa Burm. were analysed by using methanol and dichloromethane solvent. Both samples were tested for preliminary qualitative characteristics for their bioactive compounds followed by gas chromatography – mass spectroscopy analysis. The preliminary qualitative tests of fruits indicated the presence of steroids, alkaloids, phenols and terpenoids in extracts. The GC – MS analysis revealed the presence of important bioactive compounds like Lysergamide, Stigmastan-3,5-diene, Ergotamine etc. whish are very useful for plants in ecological point of view and can be used in various medicine and drug formulations.
Keywords: Argyreia nervosa, GC – MS, Phytochemical Analysis, Bioactive compounds.
