Abstract

The aim of the present study was to identify and characterize the bioactive compounds present in bark and leaf of Boswellia ovalifoliolata using GC-MS analysis. A total of 17 fatty acids methyl ester, i.e., tetradecanoic acid, 12-methyl-, methyl ester (0.9 %), (s)-, hexadecanoic acid, methyl ester (7.6 %), octadecanoic acid, methyl ester (15.0 %) and triacontanoic acid, methyl ester (6.1 %) was identified and characterized. GC-MS analysis of crude extract showed the presence of 31 compounds, i.e., b-amyrin (8.5 %), a-amyrin (29.2 %), stigmasterol (1.5 %), DL-a-tocopherol (7.3 %), b-sitosterol (10.4 %) and vitamin E (2.3 %). This is the first report on the identification of active molecule from different extracts of bark and leaf of Boswellia ovalifoliolata. All the major compounds identified in Boswellia ovalifolilolata are biologically active molecules.
