Albert Santhanaraj Deepak R. and V. Elango*
ABSTRACT
The investigation was carried out to determine the bioactive
components of Arumuga chendooram using Perkin-Elmer Gas
Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry, while the mass spectra of the
compounds found in the Arumuga chendooram was matched with the
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) library.
GC/MS analysis of Arumuga chendooram revealed the existence of
Twelve compounds were identified in Arumuga chendooram by GCMS
analysis. The prevailing compounds were 1,2-cyclopentanediol,
Hexadecancic acid,1,1-diethylethyl ester, n-Hexadecanoic acid,
Hexadecanoic acid,1,1-dimethylethyl ester, 6-octadecenoic acid,(Z),
Octadecanoic acid butyl ester and Oleic acid. This study explores the goodness of the
Arumuga chendooram which has a commendable sense of purpose and can be advised as a
herbo-mineral drug of pharmaceutical importance. The results of this study offer a platform
of using Arumuga chendooram as herbo-mineral drug for various diseases.
Keywords: Arumuga chendooram, GC/MS, Bioactive components.
