Abstract

Boerhavia diffusa is a medicinal plant used for various therapeutic benefits ant the plant can be found in tropics and subtropics regions. It has the pharmacological activities which include antifibrinolytic, immunosuppressive, diuretic, hepatoprotective, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, immunomodulatory, antilympho proliferative, analgesic properties and also for the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis. This study deals with the determination of possible phytocompounds present in the hydroethanolic extract of the plant Boerhavia diffusa using Gas chromatography- Mass Spectroscopy technique. Using GC-MS technique the phytocompounds present in the hydroethanolic extract of the plant Boerhavia diffusa was investigated and the mass spectra of the compounds found in the extract were matched with National Institute of Standards and Technology library. GC-MS Analysis of Boerhavia diffusa extract reveals that the existence of phytocompounds which includes 1, 2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, diethyl ester, Hexadecanoic Acid, 1,2- Benzenedicarboxylic acid, dibutyl ester and 1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic Acid, Dioctyl Ester. This research paper helps to identify the phytocompounds which are present in the extract of Boerhavia diffusa and also prove the biological activities of the phytocompounds present. Furthermore, studies were made in-depth to find the mode of action of the phytocompounds.
