Abstract
Rhynchoglossum notonianum belongs to Gesneriaceae family. It include medium sized plants which comes under the order Lamiales, which grows in moisture and shade areas near waterfalls. This species contains variety of bioactive compounds such as tannins, flavonoids, terpenes, which are responsible for numerous biological and pharmacological properties like anti inflammatory, antibacterial, anti cancer. Leaves of the plants are being used to cure diabetes, wounds, inflammation, asthma, fever, ulcer. Objectives of the present study was to determine various compounds present in leaves of R.notonianum using different solvents. In this study ethyl acetate, chloroform and methanol extract of leaves of the plant was studied phytochemically using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry. GC-MS result of ethyl acetate extract of leaves showed presence of E-15-Heptadecenal, nonadecane, neophytadiene, eicosane, tetratetracontane. chloroform extract showed dodecane,2,6,11-trimethyl, tetradecane, 2,4-Ditert-Butylphenol, eicosane, neophytadiene, cyclotetracosane, methanol extract of leaves showed squalene, tetratetracontane, gamma-sitosterol.
