Abstract
The aim of present investigation was to carry out the presence of bioactive compounds found in methanolic extract of a leafy liverwort, Plagiochila asplenioides (L.) Dumort. of the family Plagiochilaceae of Marchantiophyta using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). By comparing the retention time and peak area, 16 major phytochemical compounds were identified. Out of which, Azulene, Phytol, Globulol, L (+)-Ascorbic acid 2,6-dihexadecanoate, and Ethyl iso-allocholate were found to be biologically active. The methanolic extract of P. asplenioides prevails potentially bioactive chemicals that may be significant for phyto-pharmaceutical purposes. The phytochemical characterization of P. asplenioides collected from the Kumaun region of Western Himalayas is being presented for the first time. Future research on compound characteristics, however, will provide invaluable information for developing new drugs.
