Abstract
The aim of the study was to isolate a promising anticancer molecule
from the leaves of Erythrina indica. The dried leave of this herb was
ethanol extracted and fraction separated using HPLC. The fractions
were studied for anticancer activity against Adenocarcinomic human
alveolar basal epithelial cells (A549). The fraction showed bioactivity
was extensively studied for its structural characterization which was
identified as 13Docosenamide,(Z) based on the results of FT-IR, NMR,
GC and MS/MS studies. Based on the above observation,
13Docosenamide,(Z) is an ideal product for the anticancer therapy
which can be easily procured using the lab conditions explored in this
investigation.
Keywords: Erythrina indica; 13Docosenamide, (Z); Bioactive; Purification; Structure.
