Abstract

Solanum nigrum is widely distributed weed and use as a food material as well as common element of traditional Indian medicines. Current study is analysed the natural bioactive compounds from whole plant extract of S. nigrum in Ethanolic solvent by applying GC-MS (Gas chromatography and Mass spectroscopy). GC-MS reviled that extract has total 43 bioactive compounds. The GC-MS shows the occurrence of numerous compounds such as Vitamin E, Hexadecanoic Acid, dodeconoic acids, Gamma.-Tocopherol and Squalene etc. in dry plant powder of S. nigrum. Hence, due to the presence of their active secondary metabolites S. nigrum could have Biological activity, antioxidant potential, Anti-inflammatory, antiviral and anti-diabetic activity.
