Identification And Characterization Of Bio-Active • Ingredient From The Medicinal Plant Persea Americana (Lauraceae) (Avocado Leaves)
ABSTRACT
The leaves of
Persea americana were analyzed for its bioactive compounds. The phytochemical
analysis confirms the quantitative presence of flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins,
tannins, phenols which are bio-protective to the body system. The Gas
Chromatography- Mass Spectrum (GC-MS) analysis of the ethanolic extracts showed
the presence of two esters comprising of [I]Hexadecanoic acid methyl ester.[2]
Octadecanoic acid methyl ester. The result authenticates the use of the leaves
in the treatment of wound, convulsion and reduction of high blood pressure.
