Ailanthus excelsa, GC-MS, Methanolic extracts, Retention time, Novel drugsAbstract
Objective: The objective of the study was to evaluate the phytochemical compounds present in the methanolic fruit extract of Ailanthus excelsa.
Methods: Phytochemical screening was carried out using the GC-MS instrument following the standard protocol.
Results: GC-MS studies revealed the presence of 65 compounds in fruit extract of Ailanthus excelsa. Among them, highest peak area (37.67%) was obtained for Mome Inositol (Six hydroxyl group polysaccharide) (Retention time 14.873).
Conclusion: This study identifies the presence of pharmacologically active compounds which can be constructive for the formulation of novel drugs.
