The identification of secondary metabolites in plants is a crucial aspect of understanding their biochemical profiles and their ecological, pharmacological, and nutritional roles. Typha elephantina is a medicinally potent plant. The study aims to identify a number of bioactive compounds from Typha elephantina root extract by using GC-MS analysis. The 10  compounds 1-amino-2-(3-phenoxy benzyl) anthracene-9,10-dione, 4-(ter-butyl)benzyl 3-(2,5-di-tertbutyl phenoxy) benzoate, 4,6-cholestadiene-3one, imino azirin, Desethyl amiodarone benzophenone, Disulfide di hexadecyl, 7-(tert-butyl)-9-(2-methylheptan-2-yl)-1-oxaspiro[4,5]deca-6,9-diene-2,8-dione, Methyl 3-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxy phenyl) propanoate, Pentadecane, 1-(4-isopropyl phenethyl)-7,7 dimethyl bicyclo [2.2.1] heptane-2-ol, 16-oxo-16-phenylhexadec-12-en-1-yl 2-methoxy acetate were identified from TER1(Typha elephantina roots extract), immense importance to humans, particularly in the fields of medicine, agriculture, food, and cosmetics. Many of these compounds possess potent pharmacological properties, such as antimicrobial, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activities, making them valuable for drug development and natural health products. Additionally, they play a vital role in cultivating crop resilience against biotic and abiotic stresses, which has implications for sustainability.
