THIN-LAYER CHROMATOGRAPHY AND GC-MS PROFILING OF BIOACTIVE COMPOUNDS FROM MOSS BRYUM CAPILLARE HEDW
AbstractBryophytes are known for chemically diverse group of non-vascular plants, and secondary metabolite of these plants, particularly in their lipophilic fractions yet remain unexplored in most of the plants. The present study deals with the analysis and investigation of the non-polar chemical composition of hexane extract of Bryum capillare using Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) technologies. TLC revealed the different bands of presence of non-polar compounds and GC-MS analysis identified a range of hydrocarbons, fatty acids esters, terpenoids including diterpenes, triterpenes. These findings contribute to the scant phytochemical literature available on mosses and suggest the existence of non-polar bioactive compounds that may have therapeutic potentialities.
