Phytochemical and spectral analysis of the methanolic extracts of leaves of Murraya koenigii of Jazan, Saudi Arabia

The present study aimed to explore the biocomponents of Murraya koenigii leaves through hot continuous percolation method using methanol as solvent. The spectral analysis by GC-MS and FTIR study demonstrated the presence of alkaloids, tannins, fatty acids, and steroids. The extract was characterized by the presence of unique compounds such as epiyangambin, stigmasterol, α-terpineol, eucalyptol, ethyl cinnamate, fatty acids, and other steroids.
