Gloriosa superba L. has been a source of medicine right from ancient time. In the present work, we investigate the acetone extracts of Goriosa superba L. leaves were subjected to thin layer chromatography and GC-MS to know the complexity and diversity of phytoconstituents. The active compounds are separated by thin layer chromatography and GC-MS method using acetone extracts. Thirty bioactive compounds were identified and screened in GC-MS by library search tools. Among the thirty, four compounds were identified as bioactive compounds. Among them a single major peak is observed as butanedioic acid, hydroxyl, also commonly known as malic acid with RT value of 26.96 with peak area of 97.54%.
