Abstract
Abstract
Background
Eisenia fetida is the epigeic earthworm renowned for organic waste management in vermitechnology. The medicinal properties of earthworm biomass is gaining much more importance in extracting various biomolecules. Therefore, the present study was carried out to analyze the bioactive compounds of Eisenia fetida by using gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy analysis of four different solvent extract and highlighting their biological activities.
Results
The analysis showed the presence of 17, 22, 21 and 18 bioactive compounds in chloroform, ethyl acetate, methanol and distilled water solvent extract, respectively. Each compound were analyzed based on their peak number, R-time and Base m/z values. The molecular formula, molecular weight, compound nature, their structure and biological activities were tabulated.
Conclusion
The presence of a wide range of bioactive compounds in the epigeic earthworm, Eisenia fetida, justifies the pharmacological use in curing various diseases.
