Buteamonosperma is significant medicinal plant having several medicinal values like antimicrobial, antioxidant and anticancer agents. It is an important arid zone flora normally consumed as herbal drugs for treatment in pain and inflammation, including othermetabolic disorders such as diabetes and obesity.During present investigations,phytosterols was characterized and quantified in vivofrom B. monosperma. Chromatographic and spectral studies were used to confirm Phytosterols in which ß-sitosterol, campesterol and stigmasterol were confirmedthrough TLC, IR and GC-MS. GC-MS profiling showed presence of 49 various compounds.It was observed that maxium area was occupied by Hexadenoic acid (54.4%).
