Abstract
Plants are the traditional sources for many chemicals used as pharmaceutical biochemical in many countries. Alcea setosa is an ornamental plant which belongs to flowering plant family Malvaceae and commonly known as bristly hollyhock. The flowers and leaves of Alcea setosa are used in treatment of many diseases such as inflammation, stomach ailment and breathing illness. The major aim of study was to investigate the bioactive compounds of Alcea setosa flowers and leaves by GC-MS analysis. The chemical composition of the Methanolic extract of Alcea setosa parts was done by standard protocol using the equipment Clarus 500 Perkin – elmer (Auto system XL) Gas Chromatograph- Mass Spectroscopy. GC-MS analysis of the flower extract revealed the existence of seven compounds after matching the mass spectra with NIST library. While eleven compounds were identified from leaves extract. The major compounds present in flower Methanolic extract were 2-O-(2,2dimethylpropyl) 1-O-(4-methylpentyl) oxalate, 2-ethylhexyl nonyl sulfite, 2,3epoxyhexanol and N-(5-chloro-2-hydroxyphenyl) dodecanamide. The vital compounds present in leave extract were Spathulenol, Octacosane, Hexanedioic Acid, Dioctyl Ester and Heneicosanoic Acid, Methyl Ester. The components of extracts of Alcea setosa could be responsible for many medicinal and antimicrobial activities.
