Gc-Ms Characterization Of The Polyherbal Combination

Abstract

The study aimed to investigate the phytochemical components present in a 70% hydroethanolic extract derived from a polyherbal blend comprising Argemone mexicana leaves, Echinops echinatus roots, and the aerial parts of Tricholepis glaberrima, using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The GC-MS analysis was carried out using an Agilent 6890 GC coupled with a 5973N mass selective detector and a fused silica capillary column (Elite-I, Cpsil 8cb: 30m x 25mm x 0.25mm). The analysis identified 27 compounds, among which the key medicinally significant constituents included Silanedial diethyl, Oxime-methoxyl phenyl, 2-methoxy-4-vinyl phenol, Vanillin, Benzofuran, Hexaoleanoic acid, Phytol, and Dehydroabietic acid.
