Abstract
The present study was carried out to determine the possible phyto-compounds of Grewia emarginata (Tiliaceae) using GC-MS analysis. Sixteen compounds were detected from the present investigation. The prevailing compounds in the methanol extract of Grewia emarginata were 4H-Pyran-4-one, 2,3-dihydro-3,5-dihydroxy-6-methyl- (14.76%), 3,7,11,15-Tetramethyl-2-hexadecen-1-ol (10.80%), Alpha-monopropionin (9.83%), Sucrose (8.52%), All-trans-Squalene (8.38%), n-Hexadecanoic acid (7.64%), Oxazole, 5-hexyl-2,4-dimethyl- (6.10%), N-Methoxy-N-methylacetamide (5.47%) and 2-Methyl-l-methylmannopyranoside (5.30%). The presence of some of these phyto-compounds corresponds to varied medicinal properties that can be exploited for the treatment of various diseases.
