An investigation was undertaken to study bioactive constituents present in ethanolic extract of the seeds of Ocimum sanctum by using gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS). The results revealed presence of alkaloids, terpenoids, flavonoids, tannins, steroids and phenols. GC-MS analysis showed presence of 12 bioactive compounds, of which alpha-Terpinyl acetate, Eucalyptol, Hexadecanoic acid, 4-Hydroxy-2-methylacetophenone were major bio-chemical compounds.
