Analysis of Bioactive Chemical Compounds of Methanolic Seed Extract of Annona cherimola (Graviolla) Using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrum Technique

Natural remedies from medicinal plants are found to be safe and effective. Many plant species have been used in folkloric medicine to treat various ailments. Plants are a rich source of secondary metabolites with interesting biological activities. The objective of this study was analysis of the secondary metabolite products of Annona cherimola (Graviolla). Bioactives are chemical compounds often referred to as secondary metabolites. Nineteen bioactive compounds were identified in the methanolic extract of Graviolla. The identification of bioactive chemical compounds is based on the peak area, retention time molecular weight and molecular formula. GC-MS analysis of Graviolla revealed the existence of the 6-Methoxy-2-phenyl-hexahydropyrano[2, 3-b][1, 3]dioxine-7, 8-diol, 2-(Benzyloxymethyl)-5-methylfuran, N-[5-(1-Cyano-2-furan-2-yl-vinyl)-[1, 3, 4]thiadiazol-2-yl]-benzamide, Benzoic acid, 4-methyl-, [4-(methoxycarbonyl)phenyl]methyl ester, Tetrabutyl titanate, 9, 10-Secocholesta-5, 7, 10(19)-triene-3, 24, 25-triol, (3β, 5Z, 7E)-, Tertbutyloxyformamide, N-methyl-N-[4-(1-pyrrolidinyl)-2-butynyl]-, α-D-Glucopyranoside, methyl 2-(acetylamino)-2deoxy-3-O-(trime, Strychane, 1-acetyl-20α-hydroxy-16-methylene-, 9-Octadecenamide, (Z)-, Piperidine-1-carboxylic acid, 4-(5-hydroxy-4-methyl-2H-pyrazol-3, Alfa-Copaene, β-copaene, 7-epi-cis-sesquisabinene hydrate, Caryophyllene oxide, Ethyl iso-allocholate, Acetamide, N-methyl-N-[4-[2-acetoxymethyl-1-pyrrolidyl]-2-butyn, 2, 5, 5, 8a-Tetramethyl-4-methylene-6, 7, 8, 8a-tetrahydro-4H, 5H-ch-and 2, 7-Diphenyl-1, 6-dioxopyridazino[4, 5: 2’, 3’]pyrrolo[4’, 5’-d]pyridazin.
