Abstract

This work detect bioactive compounds and their derivatives in fig Leaves found in Iraq, chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), an analytical technique for identifying the presence of many compounds in a given sample. The dried plant powder weighed 250 grammes, and it was soaked in Hexan, which was diluted to 1500 millilitres, with intermittent shaking, at room temperature. Filtration of the Hexan-soluble components occurred after 3 days. Utilizing a rotary evaporator, the filtrate was concentrated by evaporating it at a low temperature and high vacuum. A dark greenish residue was obtained. The residue evaporated to dryness and then submitted to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. To differentiate the various physiologically active components, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to detect many types of high and low molecular weight chemical entities in crude extracts of fig leaves hexane fraction. The presence of several distinct components was discovered using GC/MS. The results show fig leaves contain 7 compounds Major bioactive chemicals contained in fig leaves were discovered and described spectroscopically in the hexane fraction of the plant. As a result, the discovery of many physiologically active chemicals in plant leaf extracts calls for more biological and pharmacological research.
