Cyclamen persicum: Methanolic Extract Using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) Technique

Abstract

Cyclamen was traditionally classified in the family Primulaceae, was reclassified in the subfamily Myrsinoideae within the family Primulaceae. The objective of this study was analysis of the secondary metabolite products. Bioactives are chemical compounds often referred to as secondary metabolites. Thirty eight bioactive compounds were identified in the methanolic extract of Cyclamen persicum. The identification of bioactive chemical compounds is based on the peak area, retention time molecular weight and molecular formula. GC-MS analysis of Cyclamen persicum revealed the existence of the3-Oxo-androsta-1,4-dien-17β-spiro-2'-3'-oxo-oxetane, 3,5-Dithiahexanol 5,5-dioxide, 1-(2-Nitrophenyl)piperazine, Oxime-,methoxy-phenyl- , Cyclohexene, 1-methyl-4-(1-methylethenyl)-,(S)-, D-Limonene , Fumaric acid,3-methylbut-3-enyl undecyl ester, Geranyl vinyl ether, 3,6,9,12-Tetraoxatetradecan -1-ol,14-[4-(1-,1,3,3-tetramethylbu, Cis-5,8,11,14,17-Eicosapentaenoic acid, α-Terpineol, 3-Allyl-6-methoxyphenol, 3-Cyclohexene-1-methanol,α,α,4-trimethyl-,acetate, Orcinol, 4,5-di-epi-aristolochene, Trans-calamenene, 3-(N,N-Dimethyllaurylammonio)propanesulfonate, Deoxyqinghaosu, Atranorin , N-[4-(4-Chlorophenyl)isothiazol-5-yl)-1-methylpiperidin-2-imine, 10-Heptadecen-8-ynoic acid , methyl ester, (E)-, 2-Pentadecanone,6,10,14-trimethyl-, Caffeine, 4,4,8-Trimethyltricyclo[6.3.1.0(1.5)]dodecane-2,9-diol , Bufa-20,22-dienolide, 3,14-dihydroxy-,(3β,5β)-, 1-(3-methyl-2-butenyl)-3,6-diazahomoadamantan-9-ol , 9,12-Octadecadienoic acid (Z,Z)-, methyl ester, 9-Octadecenamide,(Z)-, 9,10-Secocholesta -5,7,10(19)-triene-3,24,25-triol,(3β,5Z,7E)-, Tributyl acetylcitrate, Cyproheptadine, 3,9-Epoxypregn-16-en-20-one , 3-methoxy-7,11,18-triacetoxy- , 17-Pentatriacontene, Phthalic acid , bis(7-methyloctyl) ester, Phthalic acid, di(6-ethyl-3-octyl) ester, Ergosterol, γ-Sitosterol and Friedelan-3-one.
