Abstract
The phytoconstituents profiling of the essential oil extracted from the leaves, flowers, stems and roots of Spilanthes paniculata; a synonym of Acmella paniculata (family: Asteraceae) growing along the eastern region of India was studied through gas chromatography along with Mass Spectra (GC-MS). The Gas Chromatography with mass spectra analysis of S. paniculata essential oil from different parts reveals the identification of 73 phytocompounds. These compounds were subdivided into six classes: Monoterpene Hydrocarbon, Oxygenated Monoterpenes, Diterpenoids, Sesquiterpene Hydrocarbons, Oxygenated Sesquiterpenes and Others. The major compounds identified include spathulenol (6.90 – 19.08%), germacrene D (4.62 – 10.77%), (E)-caryophyllene (1.75 – 10.98%) and δ- amorphene (0.44 – 15.32%). This comparative study of the essential oil of the plant was investigated through GC-MS analysis providing insight into the presence of several bioactive compounds with various therapeutic values and can be used in pharmaceutical industries, particularly as an important source of natural anesthesia.
