Among the five different extracts of Andrographis paniculata, ethanolic extract of the stem showed maximum amount phytochemicals was screened in Andrographis paniculata. Quantitative estimation of Andrographis paniculata showed the presence alkaloids, saponins, total phenols and total flavonoids determined by using Standard methods. Further it is subjected to identify the number of phytoconstituents present in the Andrographis paniculata by GC-MS analysis. In total there are 13 compounds were identified in GC-MS analysis of ethanolic stem extracts of Andrographis paniculata stem which are medicinal important to become a potential drug in future perspective
