Abstract
Several studies have proved that the phytocomponents present in a medicinal plant are widely responsible for the therapeutic potential of the plant. In the present study, Gas chromatography – Mass Spectrum (GC – MS) was carried out on the methanol extract of a medicinal plant Mimosa pudica Linn for identification of phytocompounds in the plant. The results showed the presence of a number of bioactive phytocompounds like glycerin, phytol, myo-inositol and squalene all of which possessed a wide range of proven therapeutic uses.
