ABSTRACT
Twenty
five bioactive phytochemical compounds were identified in the
methanolic extract of Equisetum arvense and Alchemila valgaris. The
identification of phytochemical compounds is based on the peak area,
retention time molecular weight and molecular formula. GC/MS analysis of
Equisetum arvense revealed the existence of the Cyclohexene,
4-isopropenyl-1- methoxymethyl, α-D-Glucopyranoside,
O-α-D-Glucopyranosyl, Paromomycin, 3,6,9,12-Tetraoxatetradecan-1-ol,
Bicyclo[3.2.1] oct-6-ene-6,8-dimethanol, 1,7-dimethyl-4isopropyl,
2-Undecanone, 3-N,N-Dimethyllaurylammonio) propanesulfonate, d-Mannose,
3-O-Methyl-d-glucose, 9,10-Secocholesta-5,7,10(19)-triene-3,24,25-triol,
Benzaldehyde, 2- chloro-4-hydroxy-3, Cyclopropa[3,4]cyclopenta
[1,2-a]naphthalene, Furo[2,3-b]quinoline,4,6,7-trimethoxy, 2(1H)-
Phenanthrenone. GC/MS analysis of Alchemila valgaris revealed the
existence of the Levoglucosenone, Spirost-8-en-11- one, 3-hydroxy,
Ethanol, 2-(9-Octadecenyloxy),
2,7-Diphenyl-1,6dioxopyridazino[4,5:2,3]pyrrolo,
Estra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17β- ol, Octadecanal,2-bromo, Ethyl
9,12,15-octadecatrienote, 3-Pyridinecarboxylic
acid,2,7,10-tris(acetyloxy)-1, 5HCyclopropa[
3,4]benz[1,2-e]azulen-5-one, Stigmastan-3,5-diene and Tocopherol. It
contains chemical constituents which may be useful for various herbal
remedy as anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antipyretic, cardiac tonic and
antiasthamatic. The FT-IR analysis of both Equisetum arvense and Althaea
rosea seeds proved the presence of Alkenes, Aliphatic fluoro compounds,
Alcohols, Ethers, Carboxlic acids, Esters, Nitro Compounds and Alkanes.
