Abstract

Heliotropium indicum Linn belongs to Boraginaceae, is an annual herb commonly known as Indian Heliotrope. H.indicum is native to Asia, Tamil  Nadu, India and is widely used in traditional medicine. In Kancheepuram district of Tamilnadu, India, tribal communities used this plant to treat skin infections, poisonous animal bites,stomach related  problems and nervous diseases. Phytochemical report on H.indicum revealed the presence of alkaloids, triterpenes, sterols, amines and volatile oils. The plant is reported to possess antibacterial, antitumor, wound healing, anti-inflammatory, anti-nociceptive and diuretic activity. The fresh leaves of Heliotropium indicum were authenticated, collected, shade dried coarsely powdered and extracted with hydroalcohol. The extract was concentrated and stored in airtight container for further use.  The aim of this study was to characterize the bioactive molecules in H.indicum leaves extract using  Gas chromatography –mass spectrometry (GC-MS). GC-MS chromatogram showed bioactive molecules which may attribute to pharmacological properties.
