Barleria acuminata Nees (Acanthaceae) commonly known as Vellaikurunji. It is used as one of the most important drugs in traditional system of medicine. The GC-MS analyses showed that the presence of Twenty two different phytocompounds in ethanolic extract of leaf of B. acuminata . The highest peak area of 34.13% for 9,12,15-Octadecatrienoic acid,(z,z,z)- was identified in leaf of B. acuminata . The ethanolic stem extract of B. acuminata showed that the presence of Twenty six different phytocompounds. The highest peak area of 46.73% for Piperidine,2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-. The root extract of B. acuminata showed that the presence of Twenty four different bioactive compounds. The root of B. acuminata showed Piperidine,2,2,6,6-tetramethyl- with the highest peak area of 39.58%. The present study confirmed that the presence of active compounds in different parts of B. acuminata. In future, the isolation of above mentioned bioactive compounds from the different part of B. acuminata would be useful to find out the novel drugs.Downloads
