Abstract
This works embarks upon the gas chromatography mass spectroscopic analysis of one Unani drug, “Majoon falasifa” which is prescribed for ailments of nerves, digestive and reproductive systems. The drug was bought from a Unani medicine supplier and was processed suitably to be analysed by GC MS process. The compounds namely, Butanoic acid, 2-methyl-,1,2- dimethylpropyl ester, Propanoic acid, 2,2-dimethyl-,2-ethylhexyl ester, 5-ydroxymethylfurfural, Cyclohexane, 1-ethyl-1,3- dimethyl-,trans-,Gamolenic Acid, Methyl 2-hydroxy-octadeca-9,12,15-trienoate, 1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, mono (2- ethylhexyl) ester etc. These compounds do shown medicinal roles which correspond to that of Majoon falasifa. Further work to know the roles of some other molecules for which the reports are not available.
