Abstract:
The present study aims to identify the functional groups in Butea monosperma methanolic leaf extract through Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR). In the current study, eleven functional groups were identified in B. monosperma methanolic leaf extract. The FTIR analysis of methanolic leaf extracts of B. monosperma confirmed the presence of alcohol, alkane, aldehydes, α, β-unsaturated ketone, alkyl aryl ether, anhydride, 1,4-disubstituted or 1,2,3,4-tetrasubstituted and halo compound, which show a major peak. Interpretation of FTIR results revealed the presence of myo Inositol, clionasterol and α-Tocopherol. The presence of myo Inositol, clionasterol and α-Tocopherol provides anti-pathogenic properties of the B. monosperma plant.
