Objective: In this present study, to analyze Gas Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry analysis of whole plant methanol extract of Adiantum capillus-veneris. Methods: Gas chromatography and mass spectrometry analysis of whole plant extract carried out with instrument GC-MS-QP 2010 [SHIMADZU]. Results: The methanol extracts of Adiantum capillus-veneris to identified thirty seven bioactive compounds which are major compound such as 5- 7A-Isoprpenyl-4, 5-Dimethyloctahydro-1h-inden-4yl)-3-methyl-2-penta, (24.49%), n-hexadecanoic acid (18.29%) and gamma-sitosterol (10.61%), cis-vaccenic acid(9.25%), 5-7A-Isopropenyl-4,5-Dimethyl-octahydro-inden-4-yl)-3-methyl-pent-2-EL (2.63%), Tetrdecanoic acid (2.20%) and Phenanthrene, 9-dodecyltetradecahydro (2.15%). The lowest percentage of peak area 0.25% and their compound as 2-methoxy-4-propyl, among these bioactive compounds are including Vitamin E (1.58%) also present. Conclusion: In this identified compounds are having in antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, diuretic and analgesic properties also these thirty seven bioactive compounds are biologically significance in many activities.
