Abstract
Marine macro algae are
one of the important renewable resources in the marine environment. They
produce a variety of secondary metabolites with pharmacologically important
compounds. The present study was aimed to evaluate the
phytochemical constituents of ethanolic extract of Laurencia pedicularioides
Boergesen. The preliminary phytochemical compositions were analyzed using
qualitative chemical analysis and the chemical constituents were characterized using
UV-Visible spectroscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy, High Performance
Liquid Chromatography and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrophotometry. The
phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of alkaloids, coumarin,
diterpenes, emodins, flavonoids, saponins, steroids, tannins and triterpenoids.
The UV-Visible spectrum of ethanolic extract of Laurencia pedicularioides
showed the existence of the compounds separated at the nm of 484.5, 508, 531.5
and 652.5 with the absorption 2.857, 1.452, 1.180 and 3.346 respectively. The
FTIR results confirmed the occurrence of functional groups such as cis disubst
alkenes, organophosphorus, amines, sulfonyl chlorides, primary amides, d-lactones, alcohols and phenols. GC-MS spectrum indicated the presence
of 11 compounds. The existing compounds were toluene, ethylbenzene,
1,3-cyclopentadiene, styrene, paromomycin, 2-furanmethanamine,
1,3,4-hexatriene, 3-methoxy, isophytol, methyltetradecanoate, n-hexadecanoic
acid and citronellyisobutyrate.
