GC-MS analysis of mango stem bark extracts (<i>Mangifera indica</i> L.), Haden variety. Possible contribution of volatile compounds to its health effects

Abstract Mango stem bark extracts (MSBE) have been used as bioactive ingredients for nutraceutical, cosmeceutical, and pharmaceutical formulations due to their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, analgesic effects. We performed the MSBE preparative column liquid chromatography, which led resolution identification by GC-MS of 64 volatile compounds: 7 hydrocarbons, 3 alcohols, 1 ether, aldehydes/ketones, phenols, 20 terpenoids (hydrocarbons oxygenated derivatives), 9 steroids, 4 nitrogen compounds, sulphur compound. Major components were β -elemene, α -guaiene, aromadendrene, hinesol, 1-octadecene, -eudesmol, methyl linoleate, juniper camphor, 9-methyl (3 ,5 )-androstan-3-ol, γ-sitosterol, -chamigrene, 2,5-dihydroxymethyl-phenetylalcohol, N -phenyl-2-naphtaleneamine, several phenolic compounds. The analysis MSBE, Haden variety, is reported first time, gives an approach understand possible synergistic effect compounds on its analgesic, anti-inflammatory relevant from extracts, mainly terpenes eudesmane family, will contribute correlate chemical composition previous determined pharmacological
