Abstract :
Plants are an important source of human health, as the pharmaceutical industries today have come to rely on medicinal plants to produce pharmaceutical compounds due to the traditional relationship with them, and the ease of obtaining them and their safety. This study aimed to identify the biochemical compounds which present in flowers, leaves and roots of the species Convolvulus althaeoides L., samples were collected from the Salunfa region of the Lattakia - Syria, during the month of July 2022. The plant extract was obtained using an ultrasound device. It was analyzed by using a chromatography device. Gas spectrometry (GC/MS). 25 compounds were identified in flowers, 14 compounds in roots, and 6 compounds in leaves. The highest percentage of hydrocarbons was in the flowers (25.5%), followed by the roots (7.756%), while a small percentage was recorded in the leaves (2.61%). The two most important compounds were Heptadecan and Eicosane, which have been proven effective as anti-inflammatory in kidney tissue. Fatty acids were found in the flowers (10.26%). ) As for the roots (15.73%) and is absent from the leaves, one of its most important compounds is Palmitic acid. Or called C16, it is an important antimicrobial, anti-hemolytic, antioxidant, and cholesterol-lowering agent. Isopropyl linoleate, which belongs to the ester group, is found to have antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-cancer activity. This species is a source of bioactive compounds potentially used in medical applications.
