Abstract
Phytocomponents in methanolic extract of Cymbopogon citratus leaf was studied using GC MS analysis. 5 compounds were identified from the extract. The most abundant compounds were, Dimercaprolwith[ RT: 22.727, Peak area: 44.88 % and Molecular formula: C 3 H 8 OS 2 ]. Pentafluoropropanoyl with [RT: 21.942, Peak area: 34.16% and Molecular formula: C 14 H 8 F 10 O 4 ] with an unknown bioactivity and Palmitic acid with [RT: 19.950, Peak area: 14.14 % and Molecular formula: C 16 H 32 O 2 ] which presented an antioxidant property. Other phytocompounds identified by GCMS but at different lower concentrations were 5-Chloropyrimidin-2-amin with [RT: 19.331, Peak area: 5.02 % and Molecular formula: C 4 H 4 CIN 3 ]and 3-Chloropyridin-2-ol with [RT: 18.375, Peak area: 1.80% and Molecular formula C 5 H 4 CINO]. The bioactive compounds in the methanol leaf extract of Cymbopogon citratus leaf demonstrated phytopharmacological action and hence could be of clinical use against some ailments.
