The present study aim to investigate the chemical constituents of the Chloroform-soluble extracts from the roots of Calotropis procera using GC-MS (Gas Chromatography - Mass Spectrometry). The characterization and identification of compounds were confirmed by interpretation of their mass spectra fragmentations data and comparing their data with those published in literature. The Study has revealed to the identification of 25 components which classified in to three categories; 8 fatty acid ester derivatives, ethyl hexadecanoate 1, ethyl heptadecanoate 2, ethyl 3-trans-octadecenoate 3, ethyl octadecanoate 4, ethyl eicosanoate 5, Ethyl do-cosanoate 6, ethyl tricosanoate 7, and ehyl tetracosanoate 8; one phthalate derivative, Di-butyl phthalate 9 and sixteen Pentacyclic triterpenes derivatives, Ursa-9(11):12-diene-3yl acetate 10, Oleana-9(11):12-dien-3-yl acetate 11, Olean-12-en-3β-yl octanoate 12, Ursa-12-en-3β-yl acetate 13, Olean-9(11), 12-dien-3-yl decanoate 14, Olean-12-en-3β-yl acetate 15, Ursa-12-en-3β-yl nanoate 16, Ursa-9(11), 12-dien-3-yl petanoate 17, 11-oxo-β-amyrin acetate 18, Ursa-12-en-3β-yl hexanoate 19, 11-oxo- α -amyrin acetate 20, Ursa-12-en-3β-yl pentanoate 21, ψ-Taraxasteryl pentanoate 22, Taraxasteryl pentanoate 23, 11-oxo-β-amyrin pentanoate 24, and 11-oxo- α -amyrin pentanoate 25. These compounds might be related to the folk utilization of Calotropis procera and responsible for its strong antibiotic.
