*A. Rajesh and Dr. Mohamed Shamsudin

ABSTRACT

Kalanchoe pinnata (lam) per belonging to the family of Crassulaceae (stone crop family), which is a commonly known as air and succulent plant and native to Madagascar. In India it is distributed throughout the plains, rain forest and other places. Kalanchoe pinnata considered to be as a significant folk medicine for the various ailments and insect bite. A very less scientific study has been conducted on its biological control activity, medicinal, pharmacological and ethano botanical aspects of this plant. The current study was carried out to analyze the active phytoconstituents present in the Ethyl acetate solvent extract of plant leaves. Totally forty-four constituents were identified in the gas chromatography with mass spectroscopic analysis of Ethyl acetate extract of plant leaves of Kalanchoe pinnata.

Keywords: Kalanchoe pinnata, Bisphthalate, 1-2 Benzene-di-carboxylic acid, 2-3 Dihydroxypropyl acetate, Pesticidal activity, vector control agent.
