The present study was aimed to investigate the phytochem. screening, antibacterial activities, and identification of bioactive compounds by gas chromatog.-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and high-performance liquid chromatog. (HPLC) in Hemidesmus indicus root extracts The qual. and quant. phytochem. anal. was carried out using standard methods. Bioactive compounds were identified by GC-MS and HPLC anal. Antibacterial activity of different solvent extracts was carried out using the agar well diffusion method. Preliminary phytochem. anal. showed the presence of phenols, tannins, alkaloids, flavonoids, proteins, reducing sugar, glycosides, amino acids, steroids, terpenoids, resins, volatile oil, emodols, and coumarins. Total phenolic and flavonoid contents were higher in the methanolic extracts compared to other solvent extracts 2-hydroxy 4-methoxy benzaldehyde was identified as the major compound The maximum zone of inhibition was observed in the methanolic extracts of root against Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli. Our results suggest that H. indicus plant contains many chem. compounds and its root exhibits the wide range of antimicrobial activity. Further studies have to be carried out regarding the in vitro multiplication of plant and to enhance the root flavoring compounds for medicinal, food, and beverage industries. In the part of experimental materials, we found many familiar compounds, such as 2-Hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde(cas: 673-22-3Category: ethers-buliding-blocks)
2-Hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde(cas: 673-22-3) is the main component of root bark essential oil of Periploca sepium Bunge. It is a potential tyrosinase inhibitor present in African medicinal plants. 2-Hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde was used in the synthesis of Schiff base ligand.Category: ethers-buliding-blocks
