GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY/ MASS SPECTROSCOPY FOR PHYTOCHEMICAL SCREENING OF TECOMA STANS Page No: 1809-1813

Tecoma stans (Bignoniaceae) is a Central and South American tree, and popularly used for the control of diabetes. The alkaoidal fraction isolated from the dried leaves of Tecoma stans collected from the gardens of Al-Jadria, Iraq were investigated for its phytochemical constituents through the Gas chromatography/ mass spectroscopy with preparative thin layer of chromatography. The analysis of the alkaloidal fraction confirmed the presence of previously reported alkaloids and two new indolic alkaoids.

Keywords: Tecoma stans, gas chromatography/ mass spectroscopy, indolic alkaloids.
