Aim: The present study focused to analyse the bioactive compounds present in the fruits of Trichopus zeylanicus ssp. travancoricus Burkill ex K. Narayanan by using GC-MS. Methods: The dried and pulverized fruit materials were extracted with n-hexane for 6-8 h. The phytochemical constituents were analysed by GC-MS. Results: Totally 23 bioactive compounds were identified with RI and SI factors. Of the twenty-three compounds detected from n-hexane extract, Tetradecane (27.87\%), Hexadecane (27.26\%), Nonadecane (22.25\%) and Pentacosane (8.13\%) were detected as major compounds. Conclusion: The obtained bioactive compounds were reported as potentially active in various medicinal treatments and can be used for the treatment of various diseases.
