Identification of bioactive compounds from the methanolic leaf extract of Gymenema Sylvestre

Abstract

This study was aimed to analysis of potential bioactive phytoconstituents from the methanolic leaf extract of Gymnema sylvestre. Qualitative phytochemical screening of this plant confirms the presence of various secondary metabolites like steroids, alkaloids, saponins, tannins, ester, phenol and flavonoids. Gas chromatography mass spectroscopy analysis (GC-MS) also confirmed the presence of various phytochemical compounds with different chemical structure.
