Chemotaxonomy of Twelve Mimosoideae Species in Iraq
...Show More Authors
Abstract<p>Samples of twelve species belong to mimosoideae were collected from baghdad. The current study aimed to screen the bioactive compounds from leaves methanol extracts of twelve species from Mimosoideae to assess the phytochemical compounds properties. The twelve species of Mimosoideae<italic>were Acacia cyanophylla</italic>Lindl.<italic>, Acacia farnesiana</italic>(L.) Willd.<italic>, Albizia lebbeck</italic>(L.) Benth.,<italic>Albizia julibrissin</italic>Durazz<italic>, Calliandra haematocephala, Leucaena leucocephala</italic>subsp<italic>leucocephala, Leucaena leucocephala</italic>subsp.<italic>glabrata, Mimosa pudica</italic>L.,<italic>Pithecellobium dulce</italic>(Roxb.) Benth.,<italic>Prosopis farcta</italic>(Banks &Sol.) J.F. Macbr., and<italic>Prosopis juliflora</italic>(SW.) DC., belong to seven genera grown in Baghdad/ Iraq. Methanolic leave extracts of these species were subjected to GC/MS analysis. Data obtained from GC/MS isolation revealed that these species were qualitatively and quantitatively differed. Where,<italic>C. haematocephala</italic>leaves extract contained predominantly 9-Octadecenoic acid, (E)-(cis-oleic acid) of 11.60%,<italic>M. pudica</italic>possessed 21.03% of Methyl (methyl 4-O-methyl-α-d-mannopyranoside) urinate,<italic>L. leucocephala</italic>sups.<italic>leucocephala</italic>had 54% of Methyl (methyl 4-O-methyl-α-d,<italic>P. farcta</italic>involved 29.32 % of 4,6-Di-O-methyl-α-d-galactose. Conclusively, these species were chemically differed. Therefore, the chemical compounds could be used as tool for categorizing the mimosoids species.</p>
