Abstract
: India is one of the world’s 12 biodiversity centers with the presence of over 45000 different plants species. India’s diversity is unmatched due to the presence of 16 different agro-climatic zones, 10 vegetation zones, 25 biotic provinces and 426 biomes (habitats of specific species). Orthosiphon comosus Wight ex Benth. has very little previous record of use in traditional medicine. Orthosiphon comosus is commonly known as “Pavazha thulasi” in Tamil and is a medium sized shrub and endemic aromatic plant to Kalakad Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve Forest (KMTR), in South India. Orthosiphon comosus Wight ex Benth. is an erect shrub, 3 - 5 feet high. The main objective of the current study was carried out to identify the bioactive chemical constituents present in the ethanol fraction of shade dried leaf sample of Orthosiphon comosus . In GC/MS analysis fifteen constituents were identified. GC/MS chromatogram of O. comosus ethanol extract gives two prominent peaks with retention time 31.32 and 32.43 indicating the presence of two bioactive compounds such as 9,19-Cyclolanost-24-en-ol, acetate (36)- and 13.27-Cyclounon-3-one. The identified compounds were reported as antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-tumour properties. Identification of various bioactive compounds in the extract of O. comosus dried leaves warrants further biological and pharmacological studies.
