Data on GC-MS analysis, in vitro anti-oxidant and anti-microbial activity of the Catharanthus roseus and Moringa oleifera leaf extracts.

ABSTRACT: The article reports data on chemical profiling by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) of aqueous and methanolic leaf extracts of Madagascar periwinkle (Catharanthus roseus) and drumstick tree (Moringa oleifera) and on their antioxidant and antibacterial effects against three clinical human pathogens. In total 105 compounds were tentatively identified; in which 65 in Catharanthus roseus and 40 in Moringa oleifera compounds. A large number of peaks with good area percentage was found in methanolic extract of Catharanthus roseus with core chemical constituents such as trans-squalene, n-hexadecanoic acid, Eicosyl acetate, stearin, 1H-Benz(G)indole-3-carboxylic acid. The corresponding constituents from Moringa oleifera include 9-Octadecenoic acid (z)-, Heptadecanoic acid and phytol ace
