Method: Plant extract from aerial parts of A. indica prepared in soxhlet assembly. Screening for phyto chemicals was carried out as per standard methods. FTIR and GC-MS analysis of the methanolic extracts of A. India was performed.

Results: FTIR results find out the major peaks between ranges of952 cm^-1to 3430 cm^-1. FTIR peak spectrum indicated the presence of alcohols, alkanes, alkyl halides, unsaturated hydrocarbons, fatty acids, amines, acid anhydride and carboxylic compounds. GC-MS chromatogram of methanolic extract showed the presence of 14 phyto compounds. Out of 14 compound, three compounds have high percentage of Cyclohexane,1-ethnyl-1-methyl-2,4-bis(1-methylethyl)-[1S-(1-alpha,2-bet-(21.98), Caryophyllene (27.68), Naphthalene,1,2,3,4,4a,5,6,8a-octahydro-4a,8-diemthyl-2-methylethenyl) (25.98) and the low percentage of Bicyclo[7.2.0]undec-4-ene,4,11,11-trimethyl-8-methylene(0.406).Mainly terpenoids have been detected from the methanolic extract of this plant most of which are sesquiterpenes. Others are alkaloids and phenols. Sesquiterpenes display antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancerous property.

Conclusion: Present investigation reveals the presence of bioactive compounds in the methanolic extract, which have of phyto pharmaceutical significance.
