PRELIMINARY PHYTOCHEMICAL SCREENING OF DIFFERENT SOLVENT MEDIATED MEDICINAL PLANT EXTRACTS EVALUATED

Abstract

Medicinal plants have bioactive compounds which are used to curing of various diseases. In this present investigation involves five different medicinal plants Cledrodendrum inerme, Dennotia tripetala, Pongamia glabra, O. Sanctum. Abutilon indicum L. were studied. four different solvents Viz. Acetone, methanol, hexane, chloroform were used to obtain extracts from produced plant leaves. The extracts were subjected to qualitative phytochemical screening using standard procedure. Phytochemical screening reveals the presences of Alkaloids, Saponins, Tannins, Steroids, Glycosides and Flavonoids.
