Abstract

The phyto-components of Calotropis procera Linn. Fruits were screened by gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) analysis. Benzene extract was prepared by soxhlet exract from the fruits of C. procera. GC-MS running time for benzene extract of fruits of C. procera was 45 min. The total number of compounds identified in benzeneic extract was 39. The major phytoconstituents present were Lupenol (12.10), n-Hexadecanoic acid (12.07), Thymol (9.86), Tetratetracontane (6.88) and Linoleic acid (6.74) Many phytosterols were also present such as Stigmasterol (0.70), beta–sitosterol (0.54) and Campesterol (0.31)
