| description | Vernonia amygdalina or known as Pokok Bismillah in Malaysia is commonly used for medicinal purposes due to their
pharmacological effects. The present study aimed to identify the chemical composition by GC-MS analysis of hexane and
methanolic crude extract of V. amygdalina. Thirty-two and twenty-two components were identified from their fragmentation
pattern in hexane and methanolic extract, respectively. Major components in hexane extract dominated by tetrapentacontane
(21.56%), nonacosane (13.06%), squalene (12.77%), phytol (8.73%), δ-7,25-stigmastadienol (7.20%) and α-tocopherol
(5.18%). Meanwhile, methanolic extract were linolenic acid (21.94%), hexadecanoic acid (15.51%), 2,3-hexanedione (12.40%),
linoleic acid (10.45%), phytol (8.81%) and decanamide (5.92%). These compounds could be useful for biomedical activities
and as a therapeutic agent. |
