In the present investigation the phytochemical screening and gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of ethanolic extract of aerial parts of Cyperus alopecuroides Rottb was carried out. The phytochemical screening showed the presence of alkaloids, glycosides, cardiac glycosides, carbohydrates (Starch), proteins and reducing sugars. The GC–MS analysis revealed the presence of 21 phytochemical compounds. The major compounds were identified as 2,3-Dimethyl-4-nitro-1-pyrrolidin-1-yl-butan-1-one (37.3%); Propanoic acid, 2-methyl-, 2-ethyl-1-propyl-1,3-propanediyl ester (14.13%) and Citric Acid (12.54%).
