Abstract

Studies on the effectiveness of species of the genus Melaleuca (Myrtaceae) against mastitis-causing bacteria, particularly Staphylococcus aureus, have focused on the chemical components of the essential oil. The goal of this work was to use GC-MS analysis to characterize the phytochemical composition of the hexane extract from Melaleuca leucadendra (L) L. leaves. There was evidence of 37 secondary metabolites, including 2-Hexadecen-1-ol, Nerolidol B (Cis or Trans), Heneicosan, Vitamin E, 3, 7, 11, and 15-Tetramethyl-, and [R-[R*,R*-(E)]]. Squalene, Cyclopropanemethanol, Gamma-Sitosterol, (-)-Caryophyllene Oxide, and Neophytadiene. The plant Melaleuca leucadendra (L) L. can be regarded as a source of nonpolar compounds with promise for the treatment of mastitis because of the significance and the wide range of biological activities documented in the literature on the compounds found in this study.
