Introduction:Wrightia tinctoria R.Br. (Family: Apocynaceae) commonly called \“Indrajau\” is well known in Indian traditional system for its traditional uses. Materials and Methods: The present investigation was carried out to determine the possible bioactive components of plant seed ethanolic extract, pet ether fraction using GC-MS analysis. 22 components were identified from pet ether fraction obtained from elution of ethanolic extract packed in silica column. Results: The prevailing compounds from fraction F6to F9 were [1,1\&$\#$39;-Bicyclopropyl]-2-octanoic acid, 2\&$\#$39;-hexyl-, methyl ester (21.39\%) , Trilinolein (7.74\%), 2-Myristynoyl pantetheine (18.07\%), 9-Octadecen-12-ynoic acid, methyl ester (4.46\%), 1Hexadecanol,2-methyl (3.77\%), Cyclopropane tetradecanoic acid, 2-octyl-, methyl ester (2.36\%), 1b, 4a-Epoxy-2H-cyclopenta [3,4] cyclopropa [8,9]cycloundec [1,2-b]oxiren-5 (6H)-one, 7-(acetyloxy) decahydro-2,9,10-trihydroxy-3,6,8,8,10a-pentamethyl (38.91\%), Geranyl isovalerate (23.58\%), cis-13-Octadecenoic acid (5.91\%), Quassin (3.82\%), cis-10-Heptadecenoic acid (3.08\%), 9,12,15-Octadecatrienoic acid 2-phenyl-1, 3-dioxan-5-yl ester (31.50\%), 9,12,15-Octadecatrienoic acid, (Z,Z,Z)-2,3-dihydroxypropyl ester (14.35\%), Cyclopropanebutanoic acid, 2-[ [2-[ [2- [(2-pentylcyclopropyl) methyl] cyclopropyl] methyl] cyclopropyl] methyl]-, methyl ester (10.13\%), 6,9,12,15-Docosatetraenoic acid, methyl ester (3.39\%), 9,12-Octadecadienoic acid, (2-phenyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl) methyl ester, trans-( 2.73\%), 9,12-Octadecadienoic acid, (2-phenyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl) methyl ester, cis-(4.34\%), Ursodeoxycholic acid (7.14\%), Bufa-20,22-dienolide, 3-(acetyloxy)-14,15-epoxy-16-hydroxy-, (3\á,5\á,15\á,16\á)-(4.75\%), 5H-Cyclopropa [3,4] benz [1,2-e]azulen-5-one, 9a (acetyloxy)-1,1a,1b,4,4a,7a,7b,8,9,9a-de cahydro-4a,7b,9-trihydroxy-3-(hydroxymethyl)-1,1,6,8-tetramethyl-,[1aR-(1a\à,1b\á,4a\á,7a\à,7b\à,8\à,9\á,9a\à)]-(6.59\%), Docosahexaenoic acid, 1,2,3-propanetriyl ester (10.86\%), Olean-12-ene-3,15,16,21,22,28-hexol, (3\á,15\à,16\à,21\á,22\à)-( 4.40\%) found as the major components. Conclusion: It could be concluded that, Wrightia tinctoria contains various bioactive compounds. So it is recommended as a plant of phytopharmaceutical importance.
