GC–MS analysis for compound identification in leaf extract of acanthus ilicifolius and evaluation of its in vitro anticancer effect against mcf-7 cell lines
The current study focused on GC-MS analysis for identification of bioactive compounds in leaf extract of mangrove plant, Acanthus ilicifolius leaf extract was tested for cytotoxicity against MCF-7 cell lines. The spectral properties (GC-MS) of each separated compound were determined and found the different compounds namely aziridine, alcohols, phenolic and fatty acid compounds. GC-MS analysis proved that the leaf extract of Acanthus ilicifolius contain a high content of ethanol compounds.
