Swertia chirata is a therapeutically active shrub that is utilized for treatment of numerous ailments such as ulcer, asthma, snake bite, fever, and hiccough etc. This study is based on microwaveassisted steam distillation and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis for the extraction and analysis of volatile oils from its leaves. 35 constituents were separated and identified from the leaves of the sample. These components comprised around 97.71% of its whole composition while 0.1% oil yield was obtained. Results showed that the most abundant components found were o-guaiacol (12.3%), Tetradecane (8.0%), trans-Methyl cinnamate, (7.49%), p-Vinylguaiacol (7.07%), Indole (6.19%), 3-Allyl- 6-methoxyphenol (5.98 %) and 3,4-Dehydro-β-Ionone (5.2%) and the plant is enriched in volatiles such as Eugenol, Syringol, Thymol, Palmitic acid etc., that have numerous bioactive properties. The oil was evaluated against pathogenic and drug-resistant strains such as MRSA, E. coli, P. aeruginosa, and MSSA and was found active against most tested strains.
