The evergreen tree Maytenus emarginata also referred to as the thorny staff tree, can withstand a variety of desert stressors. This work serves as a foundation for identifying the active ingredients in leaves and further isolating the chemical because their therapeutic potential has not yet been investigated. The purpose of this study is to screen for phytochemicals in Maytenus emarginata leaves and use GC-MS analysis to further analyze the components found in the leaves. Based on their polarity—petroleum ether, distilled water, and methanol—the leaves were extracted one after the other. The methanol extracts, petroleum ether, and distilled water all contained the phyto-constituents that were investigated. Different chemicals were found in the petroleum ether and methanol extract according to the GC-MS analysis. The biological activity and significance of the chemicals found are based on GC-MS analysis.
