Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the phytochemical components from the hexane extract of some medicinal plants (Salvia palaestina BENTHAM, Alkanna trichophila var. mardinensis HUB.-MOR.(an endemic species), Scutellaria orientalis L.) and to evaluate its biological activity by GC-MS analysis. The chemical components in this hexane extract were subjected to the Agilent 7890B GC-5977MSD model Gas Chromatography - Mass Spectrometric analysis. Thirty two chemical compounds have been identified in the plant extracts. This definition is based on peak area, retention time, molecular weight, and molecular formula. In this research, Bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, tricosane, docosane, transcaryophyllene, nonacosane, beta-Cubebene, Trichlorfon, Naphthalene, 1,2,3,4,4a, 5,6,8a-octahydro-4a, 8-dimethyl -2- (1-methylet henyl) -, [2R, 3-Aminophenol were found predominantly compounds in extracts. These compounds, which we identified in our study, have a wide range of biological activity and have been found to have high therapeutic value. They are candidate plants to be medicines with various active ingredient content.
