ABSTRACT

The present study was investigated forty phytocompounds in polarity based solvents that is Hexane, Ethylacetate and methanolic leaf extract of Diospyros ferrea (Ebenaceae). These compounds are proved to be antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory and hepatoprotective activity. The main objective of the work was to list out compounds with GC-MS chromatogram, remittance time and phytochemical analysis. The results showed that hexane solvent consists of seven compounds, of which Phenol 2,4 bis (1,1-dimethyl alkylated) phenolic group and remaining siloxone peaks are hydrocarbons). The ethylacetate and methanolic extract shows 33 (16+17) compounds, of which are phytol (Diterpene) fragrance alcohol; Squalene (Triterpene), α - tocopherol (vitamin -E); α- Amyrin(Triterpene), Friedeleon-3-one (Triterpene) where as methanolic extract shows Galactitol (sugar alcohol), Squalene (Triterpene), α- tocopherol (vitamin -E); α Amyrin (Triterpene) and all other siloxone peaks are hydrocarbons. So the phytochemical properties of these compounds are commercially important for inventing new drugs for curing human diseases. This paper gives details on the importance and isolation of compounds.
