Composition of n-hexane fraction of Vateria copallifera bark was identified for the first time by Gas chromatography–Mass spectrometry. N-Hexane fraction was found to be rich in hydrocarbon derivatives of undacane, decane and dodecane. Cytotoxicity, neuroprotection, nitric oxide inhibition, antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory activities were evaluated. Results indicated that the n-hexane fraction possess promising neuroprotective activity but weak cytotoxic, nitric oxide inhibitory antioxidant and enzyme inhibitory activity.
