Gas chromatography - Mass spectrometry (GC-MS) profiling reveals newly described bioactive compounds in Citrullus colocynthis (L.) seeds oil extracts.

ABSTRACT: Citrullus colocynthis (L.) (C. colocynthis), commonly known as Handal in Yemen and other Arabic countries, is a plant with a wide range of pharmacological properties. These properties are attributed to secondary metabolites, known as phytochemicals, present in the plant. In this study, the seed of C. colocynthis were extracted using dichloromethane, and the resulting oil extract was screened to identify active phytoconstituents using gas chromatography - Mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The gas chromatography - Mass spectrometry is used to identification of the phytoconstituents and the spectrum of unknown compounds were compared with the compounds stored in the National Institute of Standards and Technology Mass Spectral database (NIST) and WILEY library of GC-MS.
