Abstract

Cadaba fruticosa an important endemic medicinal plant which is known for its wide variety of medicinal value in indigenous traditional medicine. In this study we reported phytochemical, FTIR and GCMS analysis of ethanol and methanol extracts of wild Cadaba fruticosa (WCF) and micropropagated Cadaba fruticosa (MCF). Among the two extracts, WCFE, WCFM, MCFE, MCFM, WCFW and MCFW showed positive results for alkaloids, WCFE, WCFM, MCFE and MCFM extracts established positive results for flavonoids. Steroids and glyceroids are positive in WCFPE, WCFC, WCFEA, MCFPE, MCFC and MCFEA extracts. FTIR spectrum of wild and micropropagated plant extracts showed 9 and 4 peaks in the reports between 800-3500 cm-1. GCMS analysis of WCFE and WCFM extracts exhibited 83 and 165 compounds with 18 and 11 bioactive compounds and MCIE and MCFM extracts showed33 and 90 compounds with two bioactive compounds each.

Keywords: Wild Cadaba fruticosa(WCF) and micropropagated Cadaba fruticosa(MCF).
