摘要

Satyrium nepalense D. Don belonging to the family Orchidaceae is a terrestrial herb, well known for its medicinal values since ancient times. In traditional medicine, the tubers of this species have been extensively used as aphrodisiac and to mitigate various fevers. The objective of the present study was to investigate the bioactive compounds of S. nepalense using its tubers with gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy analysis (GC–MS). During the present study, chromatogram analysis of the methanolic tuber extract showed the presence of thirty two compounds in which 2-Amino-3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl) propanoic acid (58.00%), Hexadecanoic acid, 2-hydroxy-1-(hydroxymethyl) ethyl ester (21.64%), Ethanone, 2,2-dimethoxy-1,2-diphenyl- (8.41%), 9,19-Cyclolanost-24-en-3-ol, (3β)- (1.35%) were found to be prime compounds with known bioactivities such as antibacterial, antmicrobial, antiinflammatory, and antioxidant. The current study confirmed that the tubers of S. nepalense contain significant natural chemical compounds, validating its traditional use in various pharmacological activities.
