Metabolite Profiling Using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) Technique of three Traditional Iraqi Medicinal Plants Cordia myxa, Passiflora caerulea, and Chrysanthemum morifolium

Abstract

The secondary metabolites found in plants have a wide range of biological actions. Investigation of plant chemicals should lead to the development of new pharmaceuticals as well as the identification of novel phytocompounds for use in the synthesis of complex substances and the identification of effective treatments. As part of the preparation for FTIR analysis, Peak (Wave number cm-ˡ), (Type of Intensity, Bond and Functional group assignment) were As part of the preparation for FTIR analysis, Peak (Wave number cm-ˡ), (Type of Intensity, Bond and Functional group assignment) were 668.21 (Stretch, C-Cl, alkyl halides), 674.76 (Stretch, C-Cl, alkyl halides), 819.15 (Bending, =C–H, Alkenes), 869.19 (Bending, =C–H, Alkenes), 924.32 (Bending, =C–H, Alkenes), 1009. 65 (Stretch, C-F, alkyl halides), 1241.28 (Stretch, C-F, alkyl halides), 1313.52 (Stretch, C-F, alkyl halides), and 1417.68 (Stretch, C-F, alkyl halides). In conclusion the identification of bioactive chemical compounds is based on the peak area, retention time molecular weight and molecular formula. As part of the preparation for FTIR analysis, Peak (Wave number cm-ˡ), (Type of Intensity, Bond and Functional group assignment) were more than thirty functional group
