Abstract

The investigation was carried out to determine the bioactive components of Arumuga chendooram using Perkin-Elmer Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry, while the mass spectra of the compounds found in the Arumuga chendooram was matched with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) library. GC/MS analysis of Arumuga chendooram revealed the existence of Twelve compounds were identified in Arumuga chendooram by GCMS analysis. The prevailing compounds were 1,2-cyclopentanediol, Hexadecancic acid,1,1-diethylethyl ester, n-Hexadecanoic acid, Hexadecanoic acid,1,1-dimethylethyl ester, 6-octadecenoic acid,(Z), Octadecanoic acid butyl ester and Oleic acid. This study explores the goodness of the Arumuga chendooram which has a commendable sense of purpose and can be advised as a herbo-mineral drug of pharmaceutical importance. The results of this study offer a platform of using Arumuga chendooram as herbo-mineral drug for various diseases.
