Abstract

Syzygium haemisphericum, a medicinal plant native to the Western Ghats of India, is traditionally utilized for the management of diabetes and kidney stones due to its hypoglycemic and bioactive properties. This research presents the phytochemical analysis, Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) of the methanol leaf extract. The presence of carbohydrates, tannins, alkaloids, vitamin C, terpenoids, and resins has been revealed through phytochemical analysis. The FT-IR technique identifies all the functional groups, including alcohols, esters, carboxylic acids, ketones, and aromatic amines. A GC-MS study identified six bioactive compounds, including neophytadiene, hexadecanoic acid, and globulol. The findings corroborate the notion that the plant possesses medicinal capabilities and indicate the necessity for further investigation to identify and characterize its bioactive constituents.
