N2 - Objective: The aim of the study is to understand the efficacy of Ayurvedic medicine by subjecting it to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. This knowledge could help in finding the molecules that are of medicinal importance. Materials and Methods: Mahamasha Thailam was bought from a Standard Ayurvedic vendor at Chennai and subjected to GC-MS analysis by standard procedures. Results: The GC-MS results indicated the presence of some important molecules such as n-Hexadecanoic acid, n-Decanoic acid, 2,6-Difluoro-3-methylbenzoic acid, 2,3-dichlorophenyl ester, propane, and 2-methoxy-2-methyl-, which have medicinal roles supporting the pain reliving role of Mahamasha Thailam. Conclusions: GC-MS results indicated that the medicinal roles of some of the important molecules augur well with the activity of Mahamasha thailam. The roles of some other molecules such as 1-Heptanol, 2,4-diethyl-, Cis-3-ethyl-endo-tricyclo[5.2.1.0(2.6)]decane, 3-Octyne, 2,2,7-trimethyl-, 1,3-Benzodioxole, 5,5′-(tetrahydro-1H,3H-furo[3,4-c]furan-1,4-diyl)bis-, [1S-(1.alpha.,3a.alpha.,4.beta.,6a.alpha.)]-, and 1,3-Dioxolane-2-methanol are not reported yet.
