Anti-inflammatory

The current study aims to determine phytochemical profile of the plant Justicia adhatoda via usage of Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analytical technique. The study shows results pertaining to GC-MS analysis of different parts of Justicia adhatoda, including, flowers, leaves, root and stem. The results of the study show presence of 24 peaks corresponding to different phytocompounds in GC-MS analysis of Justicia adhatoda flowers. Similarly, GC-MS analysis of leaves, root and stem of Justicia adhatoda revealed presence o 36, 29 and 29 peaks respectively, corresponding to different phytocompounds. Detailed literature survey showed that most of the bioactive phytocompounds present in flowers, leaves, root and stem of the plant are reported to be antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial in nature. Therefore, the study concludes with a message that presence of bioactive phytocompounds in different parts of Justicia adhatoda imparts its pharmacological attributes and its potential applications in amelioration of chronic oxidative and inflammatory conditions.
