The availability of naturally occurring substances has been investigated as more efficient in prevention of corrosion. Due to the biodegradation, eco-friendliness, less expensive, not much of toxic and easy availability of naturally occurring material were used as corrosion inhibitors in the recent years. Based on these needs, this study is focused on the isolation, characterization and inhibition effect of vasicinone isolated from ethanolic exact of Adhatoda vasica leaves in 1N HCl. The isolated compound wasanalyzed using spectral studies and also it is subjected to various corrosion parameters such as weight loss method and electrochemical methods. The result reveals that isolated extract of vasicinone from ethanol extract of Adhatoda vasica leaves inhibits the mild steel material in an effective manner in 1N HCl medium. Further surface morphological studies were also confirmed that the compound shows better efficiency.
