The present investigation was carried out to analyze the active constituents present in aerial parts of Fluggea leucopyrus (Euphorbiaceae). Fourteen compounds were identified by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. The prevailing compounds were hexadecanoic acid ethyl ester (46.06%), lupeol (13.62%), vitamin E (8.70%), linoleic acid ethyl ester (5.78%), a-sitosterol (5.66%), 9,12- octadecadienoic acid (Z,Z)-, 2-hydroxy-1- (hydroxymethyl) ethyl ester (3.98%), stigmasterol (3.94%), phytol (2.70%), nonadecane, 2-methyl- (2.27%).
