Abstract
Curcuma pseudomontana is one of the plant species reported from the Western Ghats of India, belonging to the family Zingiberaceae, with ethno botanical values. In the present investigation, methanol extract of C.pseudomontana rhizome was analyzed by preliminary phytochemical and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS) to identify the important phytochemical constituents. The preliminary phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of tannins, flavonoids, alkaloids, glycosides, reducing sugars, and sterol from rhizome extracts. The GC–MS analysis of ethyl acetate and methanol extracts from methanol extract from rhizomes of C.pseudomontana detected the presence of 104 phytochemical compounds. The results of the present study will create a way for the invention of herbal medicines for several ailments by using C.pseudomontana plants, which may lead to the development of novel drugs.
