The present investigation was carried out to analyze the active constituents present in aerial parts of Kirganelia reticulata (Euphorbiaceae). Twenty one compounds were identified by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. The prevailing compounds were 3,7,11,15-Tetramethyl-2-hexadecen-1-ol (20.45%), 2(1H)-Naphthalenone, 4a,5,6,7,8,8a-hexahydro-6-[1-(hydroxymethyl)ethenyl]-4,8a-dimethyl-, [4ar-(4aa, 6a, 8aa)]- (14.87%), a-Sitosterol (8.11%), Hexadecanoic acid, ethyl ester (7.53%), Vitamin E (6.69%), Phenol,2,3,5-trimethyl- (6.64%), Lupeol (4.79%), Benzene,1- (1,5-dimethyl-4-hexenyl)-4-methyl- (4.72%),Phytol (4.58%),Stigmasterol (4.51%).
