Eclipta prostrata (L.) belonging to Asteraceae plant family possesses antihepatotoxic, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, anthelmintic, insecticidal, antihaemorrhagic, antihyperglycaemic, antimytotoxic, antioxidant and immunomodulatory properties. In the present study the phytochemical screening of Eclipta prostrata (L.) leaves through qualitative phytochemical test, Fourier- transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis and Gas chromatography- mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis was done. The methanolic extract of leaves of Eclipta prostrata (L.) was used for GC- MS analysis. The leaf powder prepared was used for qualitative phytochemical test and FTIR analysis. The qualitative phytochemical test revealed the presence of steroids, tannins, saponins, flavonoids, diterpenes and triterpenes. The FTIR analysis showed the presence of structurally similar compounds like L (-)-glyceraldehyde unnatural form, heptyl-beta-d-glucopyranoside, tomatine, b-cyclodextrin, chitin, octyl-beta-d-glucopyranoside, streptomycin sulphate, digitonin, pectin ex apples, a-cyclodextrin. The GC-MS analysis exposed the compounds Propanedinitrile dimethyl (0.59%), Pentadecane (2.09%), Heptadecane (9.84%), Neophytadiene (20.80%), 1, 3- Propanediol 2- hydroxymethyl (1.15%), Citronellyl butyrate (1.94%), Citronellyl propionate (5.12%), Heptadecanoic acid, methyl ester(2.31%), 1-Allyloxyl- octa- 2,7- diene (0.44%), 6(E), 9(Z), 13(E)- Pendectriene (1.59 %), Phytol (28.72 %), Pentanoic acid, 4- Methyl (0.07 %), Ethanamine, 2, 2’- Oxybsin [N, N- Dimethyl (1.85%), 2 Methoxysulpholane (1.82 %), Cyclopropane, Methoxymethylene(0.64%), Ethyl- 2- Oxo- 4- Methyl- 3- Pentenoate (0.68%), Squalene (19.18%), Butanoic acid, 4-(Ethoxyhydroxyphosphinyl) (0.35%) and dl- alpha- Tocopherol (1.03%).
