MST. MOTMAINNA
Abstract
Borreria is a genus of Rubiaceae that is widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions of America, Africa, Asia, and Europe. Borreria alata (Aubl.) DC. is a significant species renowned for its unique secondary metabolites, such as phenols, flavonoids, and glucosinolate derivatives. The present investigation aimed to determine the phytochemical components of B. alata through the utilisation of LC-MS. This paper briefly reviews the medicinal uses, phytochemistry, and biological activities of some identified compounds of B. alata. The whole plant of B. alata was soaked in methanol-distilled water (80:20, v/v) for crude sample. The crude sample was diluted into HPLC GRADE methanol and filtered with syringe filters for LC-QTOF-MS/MS analysis. Most of the identified phytochemicals were documented to possess a diverse array of medicinal and allelopathic properties. A total of 88 phytochemicals were identified with a retention time ranging from 1 to 21 minutes. Ten phenolic compounds, two flavonoids, six amines and six amino acids were identified among them. The results of this study showed the medicinal and allelopathic potential of B. alata. Therefore, B.alata can be a rich source of new chemical structures that must be discovered.
