Methods : GC-MS analysis of whole plant extract were performed using a Perkin-Elmer GC Clarus 500 system and Gas Chromotograph interfaced to a Mass Spectrometer (GC-MS) equipped with a Elite - I, fused Silica Capillary Column (30mmí 0.25mm 1Dí1 μMdf ,composed of 100% Dimethyl polysiloxane). Results: The results of the GC-MS analysis confirmed the presence of thirteen compounds. The most prevailing compounds are Furazano [3,4-b] pyrazin-5(4H)-one, 6-(1-pyrrolidinyl)-,1,(2-Acetoxyethyl)-3,6-diazahomoadamantam-9-one oxime, cycloarbital etc. Conclusions: From the results, it can be concluded that the plant extract show the presence of 13 phytocompounds.
