Abstract
Metabolomic studies on plants became very relevant and attractive for the entire society. There are many advanced and sophisticated analytical methods for the discovery of several bioactive metabolites from natural extracts. The chemical composition of various plant extracts was detected using these techniques. Memecylon randerianum S.M.Almeida & M.R.Almeida is a unique medicinal plant used in traditional medicine for the treatment of bacterial infections and skin infections like herpes, chickenpox, and psoriasis. This plant is rich in secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, glycosides, phenols, saponins, and tannins. One novel compound, namely Memecylaene has been isolated from this species. The current study is conducted for the chemical profiling of Memecylon randerianum through GC-MS and HR- LCMS-QTOF analysis. Majority of the identified compounds have antiviral properties.
