Andrographis paniculata is traditionally used for treating different aliments. In the present investigation was carried out to determine the possible chemical components from A. paniculata by a GC–MS technique. GC–MS analysis of ethanolic extract revealed the presence of 12 different compounds namely, Silane, triethoxy-methoxy) 1-Buten-3 YNYL Benzene 4-phenyl but-3-one-1-yne, 3-butoxy-1,1,1,7,7,7, hexamethyl-1-3 tetrasioxane, 2,6-ditert-butyphenol, (trans)-2-nonadecene, (trcus)-2-nomadecene, ester (CAS) ethylallg-I-phthalate)1-2-benzoldicarbon saeure trans-p-mentha-1(7),8-dion-2-01, 2,6,8-trimethyl-bicyclo (4,2,0) oct-2-ene-1,8-diol). The present study enhances the traditional usage of A. paniculata which posses the several known and unknown bioactive compounds against the dengue vector Aedes agypti, by isolating and identifying these bioactive compounds ecofriendly insecticide as an alternative to synthetic insecticides.
