A phytochem. study of methanolic extract obtained from flowers of Moringa oleifera led to the isolation of seven compounds viz. Me heptanoate, beta-sitosterone, 3,7,11,15-tetramethyl-2-headecen-1-ol, 24-methylene-9,19-cyclolanostan-3-ol and nonacosan-15-one, heneicosanoic acid and Et geranyl acetate. Characterization of these isolated compounds was done by using 1H NMR, FT-IR, LC-MS and GC-MS. Different solvent fractions were also investigated for total phenolics content, total flavonoids content, total alkaloids content, minerals, DPPH free radical scavenging activity and antifungal activity. Correlation between various phytochems. and antioxidant activity was also calculated at p < 0.01 significant level. A pos. and significant correlation was found between phenols, flavonoids and DPPH free radical scavenging activity. The results of this study revealed that Moringa oleifera flowers can be explored as a potent source of antioxidants in nutritional food supplements. They also possessed promising antifungal activity against Rhizoctonia solani and Fusarium oxysporum. This study involved multiple reactions and reactants, such as Methyl heptanoate (cas: 106-73-0Product Details of 106-73-0).
Methyl heptanoate (cas: 106-73-0) belongs to esters. Esters typically have a pleasant smell; those of low molecular weight are commonly used as fragrances and are found in essential oils and pheromones. Esterification is the general name for a chemical reaction in which two reactants (typically an alcohol and an acid) form an ester as the reaction product. Esters are common in organic chemistry and biological materials.Product Details of 106-73-0
