GC-MS analysis of liposoluble components from SPIRAEA HYPERICIFOLIA L.

Abstract

Spiraea hypericifolia L. is a medicinal plant of Kazakhstan of which phytochemical analysis has not been explored. The present study found out that chemical constituents of dichloromethane extract from aerial part of the medicinal plant Spiraea hypericifolia L. have been identified using Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis. GC-MS analysis of dichloromethane extracts of Spiraea hypericifolia L. revealed the existence of fifty-seven compounds, in which the main components are 1-tetracosene (18.41%), 9-tricosene, (Z)- (10.55%), n-hexadecanoic acid (5.72%), lanostan-3-one, 11.beta.,18-epoxy- (4.10%), stigmasta-5,22-dien-3-ol, acetate, (3.beta.)- (3.57%), tetracosanoic acid, methyl ester (3.28%). From the results, it could be concluded that Spiraea hypericifolia L. contains bioactive compounds with diversive biological activities. Therefore, it is recommended as a plant of phytopharmaceutical importance.
