Abstract :

 

Phytochemicals are complex group of primary metabolites and secondary metabolites. Primary metabolites are essential for plant’s growth and reproduction. Secondary metabolites (alkaloids, steroids, flavonoids, terpenoids, glycoside, saponin, tannins, phenolic compounds etc.) are active principles that are end products of primary metabolites such as carbohydrates, amino acid, and chlorophyll and lipid are synthesized by plants. The identification and isolation of such active compounds makes it more effective therapeutic application to various diseases. A large number of diseases such as asthma, arthritis, cancer etc. can be cured not only through pharmaceuticals chemicals but also by plant based drugs without any side effects leading to “MAN FRIENDLY MEDICINES”. Separation of active compounds in Allium species using solvents (polar protic and polar aprotic) using standard protocol. The screening for extracts prepared in solvent distil water and acetone showed the presence and/or absence of various phytoconstituents.
