Abstract
Plants are used as a source of medicine since ancient times. Lavandula bipinnata (Roth) Kuntze belongs to the family Lamiaceae, species of this family known to have medicinal properties. However, very little work has been done on Lavandula bipinnata. Present study was designed to identify the phyto-components in the n-hexane extract of leaves of Lavandula bipinnata. GC-MS analysis was performed using Perkin Elmer Clarus 600C GCMS system with single Quadrupole mass analyzer. The qualitative phytochemical analysis of n-hexane extract of leaves revealed the presence of flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenoids, cardiac glycosides, phenols, tannins and quinones. The GC-MS analysis revealed the presence of seventeen bioactive compounds which include Hexadecane, Octadecane, n-Hexadecanoic acid, 17- Pentatriacontene, Phthalic acid, bis(2-ethylhexyl) ester, Heptadecane, 2, 6, 10, 15-tetramethyl-, Squalene, Hentriacontane and Eicosane. The Phytochemical and GC-MS profiling of n-hexane extract of leaves of Lavandula bipinnata showed the presence of bioactive compounds with important medicinal properties. Therefore, it is recommended as a potential plant of phytopharmaceutical value.
