Abstract

The study is unique in its focus on the phytoconstituents of the chloroform extract of a polyherbal mixture, which contains lichens of Parmotrematinctorum, aerial parts of WaltheriaIndica and Frageriavesca. The investigation is conducted using GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry). The GC-MS analysis of the polyherbal mixture is performed using Agilent 6890 GC with 59739N MSD and GC-MS equipped with Elite-I fused with silica capillary column (Cpsil 8cb: 30mm x 25mm x 0.25mm). The result of the analysis confirms the presence of 61 compounds, with the most prevailing compounds of medicinal value being isophytol, heneicosane, hentriacontane, aziridine, 3 eicosene, atranol, neophytadiene, phytoplankton,3-eicosane, anthracene,phenanthridine,squalene, etc.
