Abstract

Mollugo pentaphylla Linn. (Molluginaceae) possess affluent source of innumerable bioactive components. Analysis of chemical constituents in different fractions of methanolic extract of aerial part of the plant by Perkin-Elmer GC-MS unveiled the presence of paramount amount of stigmasterol, adipose acids, cis-vaccenic acid, a diterpine namely phytol were withal detected. Some minor compounds were conjointly found for the first time. This study will be helpful to understand the nature and pharmacological property of the phyto constituents in aerial part of the plant.
