Abstract: 

Plants are an important source for human health. This study aims to identify the chemical compounds found in the flowers, leaves and roots of the species Convolvulus Cantabrica L., samples were collected from the Al-Haffa region of Latakia Governorate – Syria, during July 2022. The plant extract was obtained using an ultrasound device Analyze it using a gas chromatograph equipped with a mass spectrometer (GC/MS). 21 compounds were identified in the leaves, 14 compounds in the flowers, and 13 compounds in the roots. The most important hydrocarbon compounds in the roots were o-Xylene (1.38%), followed by Octasiloxane (1.20%). While the leaves were characterized by a higher percentage of hydrocarbon compounds, which amounted to 11 compounds, the most important of which was Heptadecane (8.33%), and the carboxylic acids were represented by the two compounds Oleic Acid (0.23%), followed by Tridecanoic acid (0.15%), and the compound Acetamide, which belongs to the amide group, was found in a percentage (0.05%). The number of carboxylic acids in the flowers reached 5 acids: Oleic Acid (1.08% higher than what was found in the leaves), then n-Hexadecanoic acid (0.82%), followed by the compound Octadecenoic Acid (Z)-9 (0.22%). %), This type is a source of biologically active compounds for medical applications.

Keywords  : Convolvulus cantabrica L., gas chromatography (GC/MS), ultrasound device, chemical compounds, Fatty acid.
