Abstract
To find the biomolecules present in the leaf aqueous extracts of one wild herbal plant, Tarenna asiatica (L.) by GC MS analysis. GC MS study of one leaf aqueous extracts of one wild herbal plant, Tarenna asiatica was subjected to GC MS analysis by standard procedures.
Results: It was observed that some important biomolecule present in the GC MS profile such as N-benzyl-2-phenethylamine, tridecanoic acid, methyl ester, pentanoic acid, phytol, 2-methylheptanoic acid, heptafluorobutyric acid, 2-naphthyl ester, 2(1H)-pyridinone, 1-[2-deoxy-3,5-bis-O-(4-methylbenzoyl)-beta-D-erythro-pentofuranosyl]- etc. had the medicinal roles which correspond well with medicinal roles of the plant as claimed ethno botanically and by scientific reports. The GC MS profile of T. asciatica clearly indicates the medicinal roles ascribed to it.
