Background and Objectives: The systematic assessment of herbs utilized in the traditional medicine could provide more promising data regarding their therapeutic properties helping to address the increasing need for innovative treatments for infections and illnesses. Considering this perspective, Impatiens minor, an important medicinal plant distributed in the wet wastelands throughout India and also in the wet forests of Western Ghats was selected for our research. Materials and Methods: In this study, the plant I. minor in whole was collected, authenticated and subjected to shade drying for powdering which was done by mechanical grinder. Soxhlation technique was employed for the extraction of powdered plant material using different solvents to prepare the dried extract which was subjected to preliminary phytochemical evaluation and GC-MS analysis. Results: Presence of glycosides, phenolic compounds, flavonoids, terpenoids, sterols and carbohydrates was found in the preliminary phytochemical evaluation of different extracts. In the GC-MS analysis, presence of eight major compounds were found in the petroleum ether extract, while the chloroform extract showed the presence of six major compounds and twelve major compounds were found in the ethanol extract. Conclusion: It is worth noting that certain compounds identified in the GC-MS analysis have been documented to possess anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties in previous studies. This study has the potential to contribute valuable insights for future in-depth investigations.
