Abstract :

Herbal plants are effective source of traditional and modern medicines, useful for primary health care. Plants are richest source of bioactive organic chemicals on earth. The active metabolites like Phytochemicals from the medicinal plants were under exploration for the development of novel and biodegradable effective drugs as an alternative to the ineffective contemporary medicine.The bioactive components of Calotropis gigantean and Curcuma neilgherrensis leaves have been evaluated using GCMS, HPLC and FTIR. The chemical compositions of the extract of Calotropis gigantean and Curcuma neilgherrensis leaves were investigated using Perkin-Elmer Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry, while the mass spectra of the compounds found in the extract was matched by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) liary. GC/MS analysis of extract of Calotropis gigantean and Curcuma neilgherrensis leaves revealed the existence of different compounds from the two plants. The results of FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of various compound. The results of this study offer a platform of using Calotropis gigantean and Curcuma neilgherrensis leaves as herbal alternative for various diseases
