Abstract: The aim of this study is to carry out for identification of bioactive compounds from the plant stem ethanolic extract of Caralluma indica Gas chromatography and Mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) have been used for this study. GCMS analysis of ethanolic extract has been done by standard protocol. Mass spectra of the compounds found in the extract. They are matched with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) library. The GC-MS analysis reveals the presence of various compounds like 1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, diethyl ester (CAS) Ethyl phthalate, 1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, dihexyl ester (CAS) di-n-Hexyl phthalate, 3-Octadecene, 1-Octadecanol, 9,12,15-Octadecatrienoic acid, methyl ester, (Z,Z,Z)- (CAS) Methyl linolenate, 9-Octadecenoic acid (Z)- (CAS) Oleic acid in the ethanolic extract of Caralluma indica. These findings support the traditional use of Caralluma indica in various disorders.
