Abstract
Chemical constituents of ethanolic extract of Symphorema polyandrum Wight. seeds have been evaluated by GC/MS using Perkin-Elmer Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry and comparison of spectral data with that available in National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) library. GC/MS analysis revealed the presence of pentadecanoic acid,14-methyl-,methyl ester (4.74%), n-hexanedecanoic acid (14.45%), oleic acid (12.90%), octadecanoic acid (14.10%), octadecanoic acid, methyl ester (4.73%) and (Z)-6-Octadecenoic acid (6.45%). Besides, physicochemical analysis of S. polyandrum as well as preliminary phytochemical studies of different plant parts has been reported.
