Abstract

Abutilon indicum (L.) commonly known as Kaghi in Hindi and Atibala in Sanskrit is an important medicinal plant of family Malvaceae. It is used as source of drug since ancient period and mentioned as Bhav Prakash and Raj-Nighantu in Ayurveda, Unani and Siddha system of medicines. The plant is used in the treatment of piles, gonorrhea, diabeties, ulcer, urinary disorders and many more health complications. In present study, the ethanolic extract of A. indicum fruit was subjected to Gas chromatography Mass spectroscopy (GCMS) analysis and thirteen new compounds have been identified. Some of these identified compounds are reported to possess significant medicinal applications. The present study led to the identification of medicinally important compounds from the fruit of A. indicum which could be used as lead compound for the manufacture of herbal drug.
