Abstract

Andrographis paniculata is traditionally used for treating different aliments. The present investigation was carried out to determine the possible chemical components from Andrographis paniculata by GC-MS technique. This analysis revealed that the ethanol extract from Tiruvanamalai, Kancheepuram, Vellore District from Tamil Nadu. The compounds are classified into hydrocarbons (E)-tetra dec3-ene, alcohol (6-methyl heptan-ol), aromatic (undecan5-yl benzene) dodecan 5-ylbenzene, undecan 2-ylbenzene,(2-methyl undecan6-ylbenzene and dioctyl phthalate).
