GC-MS analysis of leaf and callus extracts of Eupatorium glandulosum

Eupatorium glandulosum (Family: Asteraceae), an important plant curing various diseases was collected from the wild and the in vitro grown callus were analysed for phytoconstituents using Gas Chromatography Mass Spectroscopy (GC-MS). In the study, 20 compounds were identified in the leaf extract and 16 compounds in the callus extract. Six unique compounds were identified in the callus extract which were not present in the parent plant. Thus the technique confirmed the existence of new compounds in callus which may be useful for mass production in pharmaceutical industry
