Abstract :

The aim of this study was to carry out for identification of bioactive compounds from the methanolic extract of Caesalpinia pulcherrima flower by Gas chromatography and Mass spectroscopy (GC–MS). GCMS analysis of methanolic extract was done by standard protocol using the equipment Perkin–Elmer Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry, while the mass spectra of the compounds found in the extract was matched with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) liary. The GC–MS analysis revealed the presence of various compounds like Tetradecane, 1,2–Benzenedicarboxylic acid mono (phenylmethyl) ester and Hexadecanoic acid, 2–hydroxy methyl ester in the methanolic extract of Caesalpinia pulcherrima. These findings support the traditional use of Caesalpinia pulcherrima in various disorders.
