ABSTRACT

Talinum portulacifolium (Forssk.) Asch. ex Schweinf. is the valuable medicinal plant from the family portulacaceae. It is used as the common leafy vegetable in many countries. The present study aims to the Gas chromatography- Mass spectrum analysis of Ethanolic extract of Talinum portulacifolium leaf. It is used as antidiabetic, aphrodisiac and to cure mouth ulcers. Leaves are used to treat eye disorders. Root is used in treatment of cough, pulmonary tuberculosis and gastritis. The present study showed 30 important phytoconstituents like Isobutyl– (5- Morpholin- 4- Yl- 1,2,3,4- Tetrahydro- 7- Thia- 6,9,10,11- Tetraazabenzo[C]flu oren-8- Yl)- Amine, 6,7- Bis(trimethylsilyl)-4- methoxy- 1,3- diazobiphen and this GC-MS analysis give ideas to isolate the chemical compounds effectively.
