Abstract: Plant-derived natural substances have been utilized to treat different health conditions in individuals. Phytochemicals are metabolites produced by plants as secondary compounds. They are naturally occurring chemical compounds in plants that are biologically active. In the current study, the phytochemical components found in butanolic extracts of the leaves, stems, and roots of Erythrina variegata were determined through Gas Chromatography and Mass Spectroscopy (GC-MS) analysis to evaluate their biological activity. GC-MS analysis of butanolic extracts from leaves, stems, and roots identified seven, five, and seven bioactive compounds, respectively. The key prevalent bioactive compounds found in the butanolic extracts of the leaf, stem, and root include Butane, 1,1-dibutoxy with peak areas of 54.89 %, 66.62 %, and 64.59 %, respectively, while the butanolic extract of the root shows the highest peak area for Butanoic acid, butyl ester at 10. 14%. The research reveals the existence of different phytochemicals in the butanolic extracts of the leaf, stem, and root of E. variegata, demonstrating antimicrobial, antibacterial, antifungal, and other therapeutic attributes.
