Abstract: Bambusa tulda (Poaceae) being the most useful bamboo species in terms of construction is also associated with the health-promoting effects. The aim of this study is to carry out the identification of bioactive compounds from the hydomethanolic extract of Bambusa tulda leaf by Gas Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). GC-MS analysis of hydromethanolic extract was done by standard photocol using MRM method in GC-MS revealing the presence of seven bioactive compounds like p-hydroxy benzoic acid, salicylic acid, p-coumaric acid, o-coumaric acid, vanillic acid, ferulic acid and 2,4-Dihydroxybenzoic acid. All the identified phytocompounds except o-coumaric acid have proven anti-diabetic activity. Hence the presence of these phytoconstituents substantiates the pharmacological activities of Bambusa tulda leaf particularly as a potential candidate for anti-diabetic activity. However, detailed studies are needed to elucidate their exact mechanism of action in various disorders.
