Abstract
The present study was carried out to investigate the medicinally active substances present in the ethyl acetate leaf extract of Tridax procumbens (accession no: 3013/ Botany/St.Joseph college/Trichy) by using the analysis of TLC, UV-VIS, FTIR technique. The qualitative phytochemical analysis of powdered extracts show presence of phytoconstituents like flavonoids, saponins, cardiac glycoside, terpenoids, Quinones, alkaloids. The solvent system of TLC was Chloroform, ethanol, ethylacetate, hexane and acetic acid in the ratio of (10:2:5:1:1) was used and its Rf value was detected. From TLC analysis result, a spot was identified with Rf value was 0.82.The plant extract was scanned in the wave length ranging from 200-800 nm by using UV-Vis spectrophotometer and the characteristic peaks were detected. The plant extract UV spectrum observed a peak of 330nm.The FT-IR spectrum confirmed the presence of carboxylic acid, Alkane, ketone, Aldehyde, Amide, Aromatic, Haloalkane and Amine compounds in extract. The results shows that important bioactive compounds are present in plant extract and these constituents may be responsible for pharmacological activities.
