Abstract
:Kayea assamica is an endemic plant species of Clusiaceae family found only in Padumoni Park and Dullung Reserved Forest of Lakhimpur district of Assam, India. It has significant ethnopharmacological evidence, but still now has not been scientifically validated. In this present study, the phytocompounds from K. assamica leaves were extracted using methanol as polar solvent and subjected to qualitative phytochemical screening followed by Gas chromatography-Mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. The result revealed the presence of important phytochemicals including alkaloids, phenols, tannins, flavonoids, terpenoids, coumarins and cardiac glycosides which comprises thirty different compounds. These identified compounds reported to have important bio-activities like antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antioxidant, antimutagenic etc. Many of the identified compounds are recognized as major constituent of the essential oil producing plants, which are Copaene, Beta-Caryophyllene, δ-Cadinene etc. More interestingly some compounds like δ-Cadinene, Lanceol, Methyl palmitate, Linolenic acid have unique therapeutic properties. Further these identified compounds of the plant extract possess as baseline in determining the possible health benefits in future. Therefore, these identified bioactive compounds explores the goodness of the endemic plant species and advised for its conservation.
