ABSTRACT
Macrosolen parasiticus (L.) Danser is a Hemiparasitic mistletoe plant, belongs to Loranthaceae family and is also known as Parasite Honeysuckle. The present investigation was carried out to determine the possible bioactive phytoconstituents from leaves of M. parasiticus using GC-MS analysis. The GC-MS analysis of the methanolic leaf extract revealed that, the presence of sixteen phytoconstituents, with valuable biological activities. The identified phytoconstituents were 4H- 1-Benzopyron-4-one,2,3-dihydroxy-2-phenyl-,(S)- (45.03%) was found as major compound followed by 1,6-Anhydro-beta-D-glucopyranose (15.42%), Hexadecanoic acid, 2-hydroxy-1- (hydroxy methyl)ethyl ester (11.60); 9-Hexadecenoic acid (6.21%); Oleic acid (3.82%); (5beta)Pregnane-3,20beta-diol,14alpha,18alpha-[4-methyl-3-oxo-(1-oxa- 4-azabutane-1,4-diyl)]-,diacetate (2.78%); 11-Octadecenoic acid, methyl ester (2.48%); 9,12-Octadecadienoic acid [ZZ] (2.10%); Hexadecanoic acid, 1-(hydroxymethyl)-1,2-ethanediyl ester(2.04%); 1,2,3,4,5- Cyclopentanepentol (1.99%); n-Hexadecanoic acid (1.82%); d-Mannose (1.20%); E-3-Pentadecen-2-ol (1.15%); Adenosine,4'-de(hydroxymethyl)- 4'-[N-ethylaminoformyl]- (0.95%); 4alpha-Phorbol 12,13-didecanoate (0.84%) and Agaricic acid (0.49%). The results confirm the presence of bioactive phytoconstituents which are known to exhibit medicinal significance as well as pharmacological activities.
