This study is to investigate and characterize the chemical composition of the different crude extracts from the leaves of Clerodendrum volubile (C. volubile), an indigenous plant used in folklore medicine in the Niger delta area of Nigeria. The air-dried leaves were powdered and subjected to selective sequential extraction using solvents of increasing polarity through percolation with full column of water, ethanol and methanol to obtain three different extracts. The leaf extracts was further subjected to gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS). GC-MS analysis of the crude extracts of C. volubile revealed different types of high and low molecular weight chemical entities with varying quantities present in each of the extracts. Furthermore, the leaf extracts possess unique physicochemical characteristics which may be linked to the compounds naturally present in the leaves of C. volubile. The presence of these biologically active compounds may form the basis for the medicinal prop...
The study investigated the bioactive principles from n-hexane fraction of the leaf of Clerodendrum volubile using phytochemical screening test and GC-MS techniques. The leaves of C. volubile plant material were harvested, air-dried for 72 h. The dried leaves were milled into powdered form using electric blender. Powdered plant material (60 g) was suspended in 3 L of absolute methanol for 48 h at 25 o C. The suspension was filtered through a double layer cheese-cloth. The extraction process was repeated five times until the extract became clear. The filtrates were pooled and concentrated under reduced pressure at 35ºC to give dark green residue. The total crude methanolic extract was stored in the desiccator until it was required for further processing. In GC-MS analysis, identification of the constituents was carried out by comparing the mass spectrum fragmentation pattern of each of the constituents with those stored in the data base of National Institute Standard and Technology 11 (NIST11.L) library. The results of the phytochemical screening gave a positive reaction for the presence of flavonoids, alkaloids, resins, tannins and phenols while glycosides, saponins, phlobatannins, sterols, carbohydrates and terpenoids were absent. Also, the GC-MS analysis of the leaf of the plant revealed the presence of six (6) bioactive compounds out of which three compounds were prominent. The prominent constituents of the plant were bicyclo [3.1.1] heptane, 2, 6, 6 –trimethyl-, 1-Hexadecyne and dodeca-1, 6 – dien – 12 – ol, 6, 10 – dimethyl. The study therefore concluded that the bioactive compounds identified in the leaf of C. volubile may be responsible for the ethnomedical or traditional use of this plant in the treatment and management of various diseases and also, it could be a plausible explanation for the reported biological activities exhibited by this plant. Hence, Clerodendrum volubile leaves could serve as a source for these bioactive principles which may be employed as ingredients for the formulation of novel drug.
Natural products are the source of synthetic and traditional herbal medicine.. Clerodendrum phlomidis L. is one of the medicinally elixir plant belonging to the family Verbenaceae. In present study the ethanolic leaves extract of C. phlomidis have been evaluated using Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry, while the mass spectra of the compounds found in the extracts were matched with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) library. Gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of ethanolic leaves extract of C. phlomidis revealed the presence of 18 bioactive compounds which showed the presence of Stigmasterol, Phytol, Squalene and n-Hexadecanoic acid. The study summarizes the information concerning the phytochemical constituents present in ethanolic leaves extract of C. phlomidis. These constituents can be responsible for pharmacological activities and they are very essential for the treatment of dangerous diseases and disorders.
Clerodendrum volubile is an underutilized leafy vegetable consumed in some parts of Nigeria. The interest in C. volubile has continued to increase due to its multipurpose values, including traditional uses, nutritional properties, and some therapeutic potentials; however, the pharmacological prospects of the plant are yet to be fully explored. Therefore, in the present review, different databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, etc. were explored to retrieve publications used to write this review. The pharmacological potentials of C. volubile, such as anticancer, antioxidant, antiviral, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, antidiabetic, and anti-hypertensive properties, were highlighted. The toxicological potential of the plant is also discussed. Proposed mechanisms that underline its biological activities include modulation of redox homeostasis, leading to decreased oxidative stress; down-regulation of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) expres...

Plants generally contain complex mixtures of biologically active secondary metabolites with multiple target effects and often low toxicity. This study was carried to evaluate the phytochemical analysis and bioactive profiling of Clerodendron splendens leaf extract by GC/MS. Phytochemical analysis of Clerodendron splendens leaf extract reveals the presence of phenol (512.66 mg/100g), saponins (277.81mg/100g), flavonoids (944.10 mg/100g), terpenoids (610.82 mg/100g), alkaloids (1615.9 mg/100g), tannins (1026.1 mg/100g) and steroids (11.52 mg/100g). GC/MS characterization ofClerodendron splendens leaf extract reveals the presence of 19 bioactive compounds namely: 2-propanoic acid, 2 propanyl ester is the major compound which contained 20.11 % followed by 10-Azido-1-decanethiol (18.22 %), squalene (18.06 %), 3,4 dimethyl 5 hexen 3-ol (10.73 %), 2-dimethyl silyoxytridecane (10.40 %), 2-Hyroxylpropanenitrite (5.33 %), 1-Nonene, 4,6,8-trimethyl (5.09 %), Isooctanol (2.51 %), 1-Hepten-4-ol (1.84 %), 3-Butyn-2-ol (1.67 %), 2-Octyl-6-Octadecanoic acid (1.33 %), 9-Propen-1-amine (1.22 %), 1,14-Tetradecanediol (0.84 %), Hexanedioic acid-bis-2 ethylhexyl (0.56 %), Di-methyl urethane (0.21 %), 3-Pentanol, 2,4 dimethyl (0.09 %), Ethyl 9-decenoate (0.06 %), 1-Fluorooctane (0.05 %) and 3-butyn-2-ol (0.02 %). In conclusion, Clerodendron splendens leaf extract is rich in several bioactive compounds with several pharmacological properties which can be utilized as natural alternative to antibiotics in livestock production.

Phytochemical, proximate and elemental analysis of Clerodendrum volubile (Lamiaceae) at pre-and post-flowering stages2018 •
Clerodendrum volubile is an underutilized leafy vegetable, also used in the treatment of arthritis, rheumatism, swellings, and as painkiller. This study evaluated the phytochemical, proximate and elemental content of the leaf extracts of the species at its pre-and post-flowering growth stages. The mineral elements were analyzed by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. The phytochemical and proximate analyses were carried out using standard methods. The qualitative phytochemical analysis of the Clerodendrum volubile leaves at both growth stages showed that it contained alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, phenols and saponins. The amount of phytochemicals, proximate and elemental composition were growth-stage dependent.
Clerodendrum, with about 580 species, belongs to the family Verbenaceae and is widely distributed in the tropical and warm temperate regions of the world. Te leaves of some species of Clerodendrum form an important source of diet in North eastern part of India. Various plant parts such as leaf and root extracts of C. indicum, C. phlomidis, C. serratum, C. trichotomum, C. chinense and C. petasites have been used for the treatment of rheumatism, asthma, inflammatory diseases, coughs, skin diseases, vermifuge, febrifuge, malaria etc. Isolation and identification of different chemical compounds and biological activities of the genus Clerodendrum have been studied by few researchers.
