ABSTRACT

Ansochilus carnosus (Lamiaceae) is annual herb with traditional medicinal properties as antiulcer, expectorant, stimulant and antihepatic agent. It is rich in phytochemical composition especially phenolic compounds. Here, a new compound was predicted from the spectral studies of chloroform leaf extract of the plant. After analysis of preliminary phytochemical composition, the IR, NMR and MS analysis was done. From the spectral data of IR, NMR spectra and Mass analysis of the extract showed C-N-, C=O- stretching; five membered ring structure (δ 7.5-8.1 ppm) and molecular ion peak at 141.31. From this, it was interpreted that the compound is unique and revealed almost similar spectral properties to that of hygrine, a pyrrolidine alkaloid, which was not reported earlier from any member of family lamiaceae
