Chemical Characterization of Dillenia pentagyna Bark Powder Using GC–MS Analysis

Author(s): Dipali Samir Warange

Abstract:

The objective of this study was to analyze and characterize the phytochemical constituents present in the bark powder of Dillenia pentagyna using Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (GC–MS). The plant species holds local medicinal significance, but comprehensive chemical profiling is limited. A total of twenty-five compounds were detected, including sulfoxides, esters, siloxanes, aromatic derivatives, triazoles, steroids, and various trimethylsilyl (TMS) derivatives. Major constituents included Methyl 2-hydroxyethyl sulfoxide (38.00%) and Ethanol (24.12%), while several minor bioactive compounds were identified at higher retention times. The findings provide a detailed chemical profile that may support future pharmacological explorations of the species.
