Identification of Components In Boerhavia Diffusa Plant Extract And Assessment Of Its Biological Activity By Gas Chromatography-Mass spectrometry

Boerhavia diffusa is a medicinal plant used for various therapeutic beneβits
ant the plant can be found in tropics and subtropics regions. It has the

pharmacological activities which include antiβibrinolytic, immunosuppres-
sive, diuretic, hepatoprotective, antidiabetic, anti-inβlammatory, 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 Spec-
troscopy 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 bio-
logical activities of the phytocompounds present. Furthermore, studies
