Abstract– Plants are used as medicines in a wide range of various cultures, and they are also used as a source to produce many effective pharmaceuticals. This is possible because plants contain unique bioactive components, which are exploited by the pharmaceutical industry, and the plants themselves. There is a species of plant known as Albizia lebbeck. Benth that is indigenous not just to Myanmar but also to the Indian subcontinent. It belongs to the family Fabaceae and may be found growing in a broad variety of habitats in India. Cassia fistula Linn. is the scientific name for a plant that can be found all over the world and is famous for the therapeutic qualities it has. This species belongs to the family of plants known as legumes. Flowering plants of the genus Delonix regia are indigenous to Asia and may be found growing wild over the whole continent. It is a member of the Leguminosae plant family, the same one that includes peanuts and beans. In the current investigation, the GC-MS of these plants was analysed. The phytochemical analysis of three different species Albizia lebbeck (L.) Benth. (Siris), Cassia fistula Linn. (Amaltas), and Delonix regia (Hook.) Raf. (Gulmohar) revealed the existence of phytocompounds that have been shown to have various actions, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. GC-MS analysis shows that the plant species Albizia lebbeck (L.) Benth. (Siris) contains 18 phytochemical components, the plant species Cassia fistula Linn (Amaltas) contains 11 phytochemical constituents, and the plant species Delonix regia (Hook.) Raf. (Gulmohar) contains 13 phytochemical constituents. The chemical compounds 3-Chloropropionic acid, heptadecyl ester, and Diisooctyl adipate with highest peak area are the ones that are responsible for the biological effects of the Albizia lebbeck (L.) Benth. (Siris) plant. Terephthalic acid, 4-octyl octyl ester is the component of Cassia fistula Linn (Amaltas) that exhibits the highest peak area of all the compounds. Terephthalic acid, 4-octyl octyl ester and Hexanedioic acid, bis(2- ethylhexyl) ester are the chemicals found in Delonix regia (Hook.) Raf. (Gulmohar) that has the biggest peak area.
Key words: GC-MS, Phytochemical, Bioactive compounds, Retention time, Peak area.
