GCMS Profile, Antioxidant and Cytotoxic Properties of Sida acuta (Burm f.)

Abstract

This study was designed to perform with the main purpose of determining the bioactive components of water (aq.) extract from Sida acuta leaves by GC-MS analysis and characterization. In this study identified 9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid ethyl ester (Z,Z,Z), 4-hydroxy-e-methylacetophenone, 1,3-propanediol,2-(hydroxymethyl)-2-nitro, 9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid ethyl ester (Z, Z, Z), alpha-tocopherol & beta-D-mannoside, l-(+)-ascorbic acid 2,6-dihexadecanoate, 3-deoxy-d-mannolactone, hexadecanoic acid and 2-hydroxy-1-(hydroxymethyl) ethyl ester as the predominant compounds present in aq. leaf extract Sida acuta by GC-MS analysis and characterization. In conclusion, all parts of Sida acuta is used for therapeutic purposes, but the leaves are most widely used, and therefore further in-vitro and in-vivo research is recommended to evaluate the predominant pharmacological activities compounds identified in aq. Sida acuta leaf extract.
