Characterization of Chemical Composition of Bryophyllum pinnatum Leaf Ethyl Acetate Fraction

Aims: To characterize the chemical composition of Bryophyllum pinnatum leaf ethyl acetate fraction.
 Methodology: Quantitative phytochemical was assessed using gas chromatography fitted with flame ionization detector (GC-FID), while characterization via chromatography-mass spectrophotometry (GC-MS) analysis. The mass spectra peaks were matched those found in National Institute Standard and Technology (NIST) spectral database.
 Results: Results revealed a rich presence proanthocyanin, rutin, quinine, flavan-3-ol, anthocyanin, lunamarin, sapogenin, phenol, flavonones, steroids, epicatechin, kaempferol, phytate, oxalate, resveratol, catechin, flavones, tannin, ribalinidine, naringin, spartein varying proportion B. leaves ethylacetate fractions. GC-MS analysis fractions at least 50 constituents. major constituents Hexadecanoic acid, methyl ester (24.88%), 10,13-Octadecadienoic (29.69%), Tetracosanoic (7.84%), Methyl stearate (6.97%), cis-Methyl 11-eicosenoate (6.26%), 18-methylnonadecanoate (4.99%), Docosanoic (3.71%) 4,7-Methano-1H-indene, octahydro- (2.43%).
 Conclusion: This array compounds presents as an important source potential lead biological pharmacological benefits hence candidate for drug discovery.
