The plant Tamarindus indica L., is one of the medicinally important plants belongs to the family Leguminosae. The present study was under taken to explore the potential bioactive compounds present in Tamarindus indicia bark which have been evaluated using Gas Chromatography- Mass spectrometry analysis. GC-MS analysis confirmed 31 chemical constituents have been identified. The major chemical constituents are 2-Methyl-Z,Z-3,13-octadecadienol (39.31) Glycerin(16.87%) Hexadecanoic acid (12.20%) 1,2-Benzenediol (4.07%) Phenol (3.17%). These compounds are very essential for the treatment of antibacterial, antifungal, hypoglycaemic, cholesterolemic, cytotoxic, anti-inflammatory, gastrointestinal, hypolipomic and antioxidant activities.
