Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Themeda triandra (Forssk.), commonly known as kangaroo grass, is a perennial grass species with potential medicinal properties. This study aims to characterize the phytochemical composition of Themeda triandra leaf ethanol extract using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). The GC-MS analysis revealed the presence of 13 bioactive compounds, including silanes, esters, alcohols, steroids, and nitrogen-containing compounds, which are known for their antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties. Notably, compounds such as Silane, Diethylmethyl and Aclarubicin were identified, suggesting the plant's potential therapeutic applications. These findings provide a detailed chemical profile of Themeda triandra and support its traditional use in medicine. The study paves the way for further research on the pharmacological potential of the plant's bioactive constituents
