Abstract :

Plants are a rich source of secondary metabolites with interesting biological activities. Avicennia germinans is a traditional medicinal plant and the leaves have tremendous medicinal values. In the present study ethanolic leaf extract of Avicennia germinans was analyzed using Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and the compound structures were identified with help of National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) liary. GC-MS analysis of test plant revealed the presence of 12 bioactive compounds. Among them 3-dodecene, 1-hexodeconol, 9-eicosene and Tetratriacontane are important bioactive compounds which act as essential drugs for dangerous diseases and disorders and other compounds are used in antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, cytotoxicity and cancer preventive activities.
