Abstract :

Hyptis suaveolens L (Poit.) leaves of Methanol Extract obtained by Solvent extraction by maceration process were analyzed by gas chromatography mass spectroscopy (GC–MS). Thirty six components were identified in the leaf extract. The major components were Phenanthrenemethanol (44.74%), n–hexadecanoic acid (12.69%), Podocarp (9.92%) , 7–isopropyl–1, 1, 4a– trimethyl–1, 2, 3, 4, 4a, 9, 10, 10a–octahydrophenanthrene (7.41%), Oleic acid (5.53%), 2–(1,4,4–Trimethyl–cyclohex–2–enyl)–ethanol (4.58%), (3,7–Dimethyl–octa–2,6–dienyl)–benzene (4.49%), Androsta–5,7–diene, 4,4–dimethyl (3.03%), phytol (1.52%), 3, 7, 11, 15–tetramethyl–2–hexadecen–o1 (1.30%). The compositions of Methanol Extract varied qualitatively and quantitatively
