Abstract

The present study deals with the GC MS analysis of one medicinal plant, Justiciaglauca. Not much work was done on this species although all the species of Justicia genus have important ethno-medical use. The plant was collected from nearby hills of Chengalpattu, Tamilnadu. The ethyl acetate extract of the aerial parts of the plant was subjected to GC MS study following standard protocols. It was observed that some very important molecules such asn-Hexadecanoic acid, 3,7,11,15-Tetramethyl-2-hexadecen-1-ol, 2-((Octan-2-yloxy)carbonyl)benzoic acid,  Squalene, Sulfurous acid, butyl heptadecyl ester, .gamma.-Tocopherol, Pregnenolone, 17.alpha.-Hydroxypregnenolone, Stigmasterol, .beta.-Sitosterol, Z,E-2,13-Octadecadien-1-ol, .beta.-Amyrin, Lupeol. Further work is warranted in this regard. These molecules play a vital role in the medicinal role of Justiciaglauca.
