Background: The aim of the study to identify the photochemical present in the Mimosa pudica plant present in the premises of SRM College of Agricultural Sciences, Chengalpattu district, Tamil Nadu, India.
Methods: Leaves, stem and root samples were used for the methanol extraction and the crude extract was subjected into the GCMS analysis.
Results: The results revealed the presence of Mome inositol; Guanosine; 3-o-methyl-D-fructose; Ether butyl isopentyl; Methyl.beta.-d-ribofuranoside; 3,4-Dichloroatropine etc., in the plant parts.
Conclusion: This study to be carried out to find out the maximum number of compounds present in this plant through the derivatization process.
