Chemical characterization of Strychnos nux-vomica L. leaves for biopesticidal properties using GC-MS
Author(s): Suganthy M and Gajendra CV
Abstract: Strychnos nux-vomica commonly known as poison nut tree found to possess various pharmaceutical properties. The GC-MS analysis of methanolic and ethanolic leaf extracts revealed 44 compounds. Among them four compounds viz., benzene, 1-2, dichloro (4.38 per cent), dibutyl phthalate (5.20), hexadecanoic acid, ethyl ester (0.91per cent) and pentadecane (1.24 per cent) posses biopesticidal property. Hence, there is a scope of utilizing Strychnos nux-vomica as botanical pesticide for eco-friendly management of insect pests.
