Abstract

The Carpobrotus chilensis  plant located on the coast of the city of Latakia was studied, where three extracts (aqueous - hexane - ethanol) were prepared using a Soxhlet extractor and analyzed using a gas chromatography device (GC-MS) to determine the chemical composition. The results showed that the plant contains a large number of chemical compounds that have medical importance in treating many diseases. The hexane extract showed a high content of Flavonoid compounds (1.93%), while the aqueous extract contained a high percentage of Phenolic compounds (4.02%), and the ethanolic extract contained a high percentage of Fatty acids (2.42%). In general, it can be said that the aqueous extract can be preferred. Over the rest of the extracts, because of its high ability to extract chemical compounds on the one hand and because water is considered a green solvent on the other hand
