Exploration of Bioactive Compounds from in Western Ghats of Karnataka Using GC-MS

Bioactive compounds in plants are essential for the formation of novel chemotherapeutic drugs, which have been used in Ayurveda to treat a variety of illnesses. Indian medicinal herbs have been used for thousands of years to treat a variety of illnesses, such as fever, cancer, snake bites, rheumatism, skin problems, and neurodegenerative diseases. GC-MS was used to locate and categorize bioactive components in leaves. The results showed that presence of octanoic acid, methyl ester, decanoic acid, methyl ester, desulphosinigrin, l-gala-l-ido-octose, methyl tetradecanoate, Tetradecanoic acid, 6-benzoxazolesulfonamide, -(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-methyl-, 10-chloro-5-methoxy-5H-dibenzo[,][7]annulene, pentadecanoic acid, oleic acid, -hexadecanoic acid, hexanedioic acid, dioctyl ester, and squalene. The methanol extract of was effective against a wide spectrum of pathogenic bacteria at four different concentrations, with the highest activity against and It also showed moderate activity against and The pharmacological properties of , as well as their variety and comprehensive phytochemistry, could be exploited as a potent antimicrobial agent for future therapeutics.
