Abstract
In this study, Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) was used to compare the
chemical compositions of Ambrosia maritima aerial parts collected from two different
locations in Ed-Damer region, River Nile State, Northern Sudan. The results showed that
14 compounds of the two plant samples contained the same chemical composition, which
was 2-methoxy-4-vinyl phenol, Decanoic acid ethyl ether, 1-cyclohexene 1-ol, 2,6-
dimethyl acetate, 2-acetoxy 1,1,10 trimethyl 6,9-epidioxydecalin, 6,8-nonadien-2-one, 6-
methyl-5-(1-methylethylidene-, Ethyl alpha-d-glucopyranoside, Hexadecanoic acid,
methyl ester, n-Hexadecanoic acid, Hexadecanoic acid, ethyl ester, Phytol, Androstan-17-
one,3-ethyl-3-hydroxy (5-alpha), 17-beta-hydroxy-6-oxo-4,5-secoandrosta-, 5-alpha-17-
alpha pregnan-12 one and Cyclohexanamine,N-(hexa-hydro-3 methylene 2(3H) –

benzofuranyledene)-but the percentage content was different. The main components of the
ethanolic extracts of the two samples were different. N,N-dimethylglycine (2.16%) ,
Norethindrone (19.76%), alpha-amyrin (0.66%) and others were only detected in
Ambrosia maritima (sample Am1), Nitroacetamine (16.07%) , linoleic acid, ethyl ester
(9.83%), gamma-sitosterol (5.59%), and others were only detected in Ambrosia maritima
(sample Am2).
