        abstract = {Carica papaya L. (Caricaceae) is a well-known medicinal plant traditionally employed for managing various gastrointestinal disorders like ulcer, infection and other ailments in Ranchi District, Jharkhand, India. The present study aimed to evaluate the phytochemical constituents and bioactive compounds of its seeds. Qualitative screening revealed the presence of ten of twelve phytochemicals such as alkaloids, anthocyanin, carbohydrate, flavonoids, tannins, phenols, saponins, glycosides, steroids, and terpenoids. GC-MS analysis of the methanolic seed extract identified 53 bioactive compounds. These identified phytocompounds possesses various biological activities such as anti- inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-ulcer, antimicrobial etc. The results demonstrate the plant’s potential as a reservoir of bioactive compounds and its relevance in the development of novel drugs and sustainable healthcare practices.},
