Abstract :

The present study deals with the phytochemical screening of available parts (mainly leaves and stem) of twelve medicinal plants of four different families found in Chitrakoot region. Test plants were extracted with methanol, petroleum ether and water by cold and hot extraction methods and screened for the presence of carbohydrates, alkaloids, flavonoids, proteins, rasin, anthocynin, saponin, steroids, starch, tannins, starch, glycosides, phenol, phlobatannins and terpenoids. We found that the selected plants are good source of various phytochemicals. This study revealed the presence of various biologically active secondary metabolites which could be helpful in the prevention of chronic diseases.
