ABSTRACT
This study was carried out with the aim of exploring the chemical constituents medicinal plant Leptadenia hastata. Identification of the compounds were based on the molecular structure, molecular mass and calculated fragments. Interpretation on mass spectrum GC-MS was conducted using the database of National Institute Standard and Technology (NIST). The name, molecular weight and structure of the components of the test materials were ascertained using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and Fourier Transform Infra-Red Spectrometry (FTIR). Phytochemicals were isolated from the leaves extracts of Leptadenia hastata, after the extraction from solvent, dichloromethane The chemical compounds isolated include Benzyl alcohol (1), 3-Pyridine carboxylate (2), 2-Methoxy-4-vinylphenol (3). This study revealed that this medicinal plant Leptadenia hastata extract from dichloromethane had some potential phytochemicals. These chemical constituents were isolated and characterised for the first in the leaf extract of Leptadenia hastata.
