Statement of the Problem: Medicinal plants provide a wide range of secondary metabolites and play important role in the
treatment of serious disorders. Plants facilitate healing that is potent, profound and life affirming. The present study was aimed
to determine the secondary metabolites, antibacterial activity and anti-proliferative activity of Curculigo orchioides.
Methodology & Theoretical Orientation: The secondary metabolites of Curculigo orchioides were identified by gas
chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Antibacterial activity was determined against bacterial strains Escherichia
coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Streptococcus pyogenes and Staphylococcus aureus and
antiproliferative activity was evaluated against hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2
cell line).
Findings: GC-MS analysis of alcoholic extract revealed the presence of
pharmacologically active compounds like d-Lyxo-d-manno-nononic-1,4-lactone;
3',8,8'-Trimethoxy-3-piperidyl-2,2'-binaphthalene-1,1',4,4'-tetrone; 7-Methyl-Ztetradecen-
1-ol acetate; Paromomycin; Geranyl isovalerate; tert-Hexadecanethiol;
1,2-Propanediol, 3-(tetradecyloxy); n-Hexadecanoic acid; 9-Octadecenoic acid,
(2-phenyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl)methyl ester, trans and 2H-Cyclohepta[b] furan-2-one
and 6-[1-(acetyloxy)-3-oxobutyl] -3,3a,4,7,8,8a-hexahydro-7-methyl-3-methylene.
Alcoholic extract of Curculigo orchioides showed significant activity against bacterial
pathogens and HepG2 cell lines.
Conclusion & Significance: The data obtained from GC-MS can be used to study the therapeutic efficacy of secondary
metabolites, while alcoholic extract showed significant antibacterial and anti-proliferative activity.
