Abstract

The purpose of this study was to isolate the bioactive compounds of Morindacitrifolia (noni). The extracts from the leaves of M. citrifolia exhibited one indigo band and two blue bands under the UV light. Six bands were also exhibited under the visible light. The leaf extracts of M. citrifolia gave fourteen fragmentations under GC/MS (Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry) and exhibited strong absorption bands at 3429.43 for N-H bond, 2945.30 for O-H bond, 1732.80 for C=O, 1234.44 for =C-OR bond and 1051.20cm-1 for R-O-R bond. It could be concluded that the leaf extracts of Morindacitrifolia contain acids, unsaturated aldehydes and ketones, alkaloids, anthraquinone, carotenoids, flavonoids, triterpenoids and sterols.
