Abstract
The present study deals with the GC MS analysis of one herbal medicinal plant, Cleome viscosa. Theplant was collected from paddy fields near Chengalpattu, Tamil Nadu, India and thewhole plant was subjected to ethyl acetate extraction. The extract was processed suitably to be used for GC MS analysis. The GC MS results indicated the presence of some important biomolecules such as n-Hexadecanoic acid, Oleic Acid, 2-((Octan-2-yloxy)carbonyl)benzoic acid, Sulfurous acid, butyl heptadecyl ester, 1-Heptatriacotanol,Campesterol, Stigmasterol, .beta.-Sitosterol, Methyl 10, 13, 16-docosatrienoate which have various medicinal properties validating the medicinal role of this plant. Further work is on to isolate the compounds and studies them for their medicinal roles.
