Abstract

The present study deals with the GC MS analysis of ethyl acetate extract of one herbal medicinal plant, Aervalanata. There are quite a number of scientific reports on the medicinal role of this plant. This plant was collected from nearby paddy fields at Chengalpattu, Tamilnadu. The ethyl acetate extract of the aerial parts of the plant was subjected to GC MS study following standard protocols. I was observed that some very important molecules such as 3.alpha.,5.alpha.-Cyclo-ergosta-7,9(11),22t-triene-6.beta.-ol, 2-((Octan-2-yloxy)carbonyl)benzoic acid, Squalene, dl-.alpha.-Tocopherol were shown in the GC MS profile of this plant. These molecules have far reaching medicinal roles which suggest the efficacy of this plant. Further work in this regard is warranted.
