Abstract

In this study, the bioactive compounds of Andrographis Paniculate have been analyzed and identified using Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometer (GCMS) technique. The chemical compounds of the whole plant extracts of Andrographis Paniculate were investigated using Shimadzu GCMS. Analysis of Andrographis Paniculate whole plant was carried out after extraction of bioactive compounds in polar and non polar solvents separately. The existence of the major compounds were Bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate and 9, 12-Octadecadienoic acid (Z, Z)-2, 3dihydroxy Propyl ester.
