ABSTRACT
The present investigation was carried out to characterize the bioactive compounds present in leaf extract of Thespesia populnea using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrum (GC-MS). The results of the GC-MS analysis provide different peaks determining the presence of 23 phytochemical compounds with different therapeutic activities. The major phytocompounds N,N-Dimethylglycine (49.0%), 9,12,15-Octadecatrienoic acid, (Z,Z,Z)- (12.90 %), Sucrose (9.84 %), 11,14,17-Eicosatrienoic acid, methyl ester (7.85 %), n-Hexadecanoic acid (6.36 %) etc., other major and minor compounds were also present. Hence, this study offers base of using as herbal alternative for the synthesis and development to treat various infectious diseases.
