DETERMINATION OF CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF VOLATILE OIL OBTAINED FROM Calotropis procera LEAF THROUGH GC-MS ANALYSIS

Abstract: In this study, volatile oil was extracted from matured leaves of Calotropis procera plant using standard procedures. GC-MS analysis revealed Pregn-4enetrione, 2,2 - Bischorophenlypropane, Cercosporin, Lycoxanthin, O-Acetyl Anodendroside and 4 –Isopropylidene bisdibromophenoxy with %Area values of 26.05%, 22.33%, 13.70%, 12.33%, 13.70% and 12.33% respectively as the chemical components of the volatile oil. The order of their composition in the volatile oil were Pregn-4enetrione >2,2- Bischorophenyl propane > Cercosporin=O-Acetyl Anodendroside > Lycoxanthin = 4-Isopropylidenebisdibromophenoxy with Pregn-4enetrione and 2,2- Bischorophenyl propane detected in higher amounts than other chemical components in volatile oil of Calotropis procera leaf. The present study showed that volatile oil from Calotropis procera leaf contained some chemical components of biochemical, physiological and pathological importance. Isolation and characterization of each chemical component detected in the present study in animal model are recommended for further study. Keywords: GC-MS, volatile oil, chemical, Calotropis procera, importance.
