ABSTRACT
The present study aimed to investigate the phytochemical composition of Jasminum grandiflorum leaves using GC–MS analysis. Fresh leaves were collected, shade-dried, powdered, and subjected to ethanol extraction. The ethanolic extract was analyzed using a Shimadzu GC–MS system, resulting in the identification of twenty-six bioactive phytocompounds. Major constituents included 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural, Dodecanoic acid, Ricinoleic acid, Phytol, Squalene, Stigmasterol, γ-Sitosterol, and α-Tocopherol-β-D- mannoside. The identified compounds are known for diverse pharmacological activities, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, wound healing, and cytoprotective effects. These findings highlight the potential of Jasminum grandiflorum leaves as a source of bioactive molecules for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications.
