ABSTRACT
Present day hope that many people join in studying the various phytochemicals and their bioactivities of ferns and fern allies for human life. As a result, more people could enjoy a healthy and eco-friendly life with ferns and fern allies. Hence, in the present investigation, an attempt has been made to study the phytoconstituents of B. orientale. The compound such as Eicos-5-enoic acid was isolated by spectral analysis i.e., IR, MASS, C13 NMR and 1H NMR for structural elucidation. So, certain functional activities for human life and possibilities of industrial application of B. orientale were analyzed for scientific exploration with isolated phytochemicals.
Keywords: Pteridophytes, Blechnum orientale, Phytoconstituents.
