Monotheca buxifolia  (Sapotaceae) is used against different heath aliments due to auspicious biological properties. Essential oil was extracted from leaves of  M. buxifolia  through steam distillation. Gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS) showed presence of 34 compounds. Geranyl acetone (12.6%), nonanal (9.0%) and champhor (8.0%) were abundant while (E)-β-ionone, cis-carvone oxide and caryophyllene oxide were also found. The oil presented 50.2% free radical scavenging activity while total antioxidant potential and total reducing power potential were 40.0 µg AAE/mL and 38.7 µg AAE/mL, respectively. The extracted oil presented moderate activity against  Escherichia coli  (14 mm) and  Bacillus subtilis  (11 mm). The study concludes that the essential oil of  M. buxifolia  leaves has diverse chemical composition and biological activities therefore can be explored for therapeutic potential.
