Background: Corbichonia decumbens (Forssk.) Exell (Molluginaceae), recently has moved to Lophiocarpaceae as per angiospermic plant group (APG) III system, is an annual or short‑lived, dwarf, glabrous subshrub, prefers to grow on rocky places and on sand‑stones in dry, hot areas of Rajasthan. This is the potential plant with medicinal properties. Vegetative organs under study show antioxidant, anti‑inflammatory, antiulcer, antimicrobial, and antinociception activity. Objective: This study was carried out to identify the phytoconstituents present in the methanolic and ethyl‑acetate extract of root and stem of C. decumbens by GC‑MS analysis. Materials and Methods: Powdered test samples were sequentially extracted with methanol and ethyl‑acetate. The compounds obtained as a result of GC‑MS screening were identified on the basis of their retention time, peak area and compared with that of literature available and by interpretation of mass spectra. Results: GC‑MS analysis of a methanolic extract of root detected mome‑inositol (49.53%), guanosine (20.91%), and cis‑vaccenic acid (9.25%). While ethyl‑acetate extract of root analyzed pentadecanoic acid (17.91%), octadecanoic acid (15.01%) and cis‑vaccenic acid (12.04%). Methanolic extract of stem detected mome‑inositol (75.47%), pentadecanoic acid (6.04%), and 7‑tetradecenal, (Z) (4.54%) while ethyl‑acetate extract of stem revealed the presence of 1‑heptacosanol (17.35%), hexadecanoic acid (17.17%), and octadecanal (12.64%). Conclusion: The results suggest that C. decumbens (Forssk.) Exell is a plant of potential medicinal value, yielding various bioactive compounds that confirm the application of this plant as a plant‑based drug in pharmacy‑industry.
