    Author(s): Okechukwu, C. L*, Omosun G, Obike, A. I and Iwuagwu, M. O

    GC-MS and qualitative phytochemical screening of ethanol leaf extracts of Annona muricata Annona senegalensis and Annona squamosa were carried out. Qualitative phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids, phenol, saponin, and steroid/triterpenes. Gas-chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS) analysis revealed fifty-six compounds with their fragmentation pattern and molecular weight. GC-MS chromatogram of the ethanolic extract of A. muricata showed twenty peaks, indicating the presence of twenty compounds. The identified compounds found in higher quantities include (Z)-2-(henicos-12-en-1-yl)-6-methyl2H-pyran-4(3H)-one (37.83%), N-Aminopyrrolidine (20.38%), Propanoic acid, 2, 3-dichloro- (5.17%), etc. A. senegalensis showed six peaks, representing six compounds, with the highest quantity being ntegerrimine (57.472%). A. squamosa showed thirty peaks indi.. View More»
