The Gas Chromatography Mass Spectroscopic Study of One Unani Drug, "Apk Abraisham"

This work deals with the gas chromatography mass spectroscopic study of one Unani medicine, Apk Abraisham, which is prescribed for Ano-rectal disorders as well as nerve related problems. The medicine was procured from a standard Unani medicine vendor at Chennai and was processed suitably to be analysed by GC MS process. The results indicated the presence of many molecules such as trans-2,4-Dimethylthiane, S,S-dioxide, trans-2-methyl-4-n-pentylthiane, S,S-dioxide, Cyclopentane, 1-pentyl-2-propyl-, Terpinen-4-ol, alpha-Terpineol, Pivalic acid, 2-tetrahydrofurylmethyl ester, Propanoic acid, 2,2-dimethyl-2-ethylhexyl ester, trans-2,4-Dimethylthiane, S,S-dioxide, 3-Cyclohexene-1-ethanol, beta, 4-dimethyl-, Trichloroacetic acid, undecyl ester, Carbonochloridic acid, decyl ester, Sulfurous acid, butyl undecyl ester, Phthalic acid, octyl tridec-2-yn-1-yl ester etc. which show promising medicinal roles. These medicinal roles could lead to the cure of the ailments for which this medicine is prescribed.
