Abstract :

<p>&nbsp;Cyclea peltata is locally called as &ldquo;Pahadwel&rdquo; belongs to the family Menispermaceae. It is a twining shrub, traditionally used in the treatment of wounds, skin infections and muscular sprains by local folk medicinal practioners. The present study was designed to determine the phytochemical compounds in the aqueous extract of Cyclea peltata (Voucher Specimen No. 510/BMV/184 and parts used as rhizome) by GC&ndash;MS analysis. GC&ndash;MS chromatogram of the aqueous extract showed ten major peaks at retention time of 22.281, 23.086, 23.577, 23.857, 24.602, 25.322, 26.023, 26.763, 27.603 and 28.569 minutes. The spectrum of the unknown components in the aqueous extract was compared with the spectrum of known compounds stored in the NIST liary. The mass of the compounds and fragments recorded were matched with NIST database for identification of probable compounds present in the sample and from GC&ndash;MS results. Ten phytochemical compounds were identified and reported the activity such as Antimicrobial, Antioxidant, Inflammatory, Anticancer, Antidiabetic, and Hemolytic.</p>
