Abstract

To investigate the phytoconstitutent of methanol extract of Helictres isora (L.) using GC-MS. GC-MS analysis of flowers extract were performed using a Thermo GC-Trace Ultra Version: 5.0 interfaced to a Thermo Mass Spectrometer DSQ II, fused Silica Capillary Column (30mmX 0.25mm 1DX1 eMdf, composed of 100% Dimethyl polysiloxane). The results of the GC-MS analysis confirmedthe presence of Twenty four compounds. The most prevailing compounds are octadecanoic acid, 9,10-dichloro-, methyl ester, methyl-1-sorboside, hexadecanic acid, etc., From the results, it can be concluded that the flowers extract show the presence of 24 phytocompounds. The presence of various bioactive compounds justifies the use of the e plant flower for various ailments by traditional practitioners.
