Abstract
Plants are the chemical factories consist of lots of phytochemicals. Phytochemical are primary and secondary metabolites have some medicinal values and plays an important role in internal mechanisms of plants. The present study was aimed at qualitative and quantitative analysis of phytoconstituents of Micrococca mercurialis (L.) Benth. leaf, stem, root and fruit. The shade dried parts of the plant powder were subjected to successive Soxhlet extraction using petroleum ether, benzene, chloroform, methanol and water. These solvent extracts were subjected to the preliminary phytochemical screening to detect the different chemical principles present in the plant. The phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of alkaloids, saponins, tannins, flavonoids, terpenoids, quinines, glycosides, steroids, phenols in varying concentrations. The present study provides evidence that solvent extract of Micrococca mercurialis contains medicinally important bioactive compounds and this justifies the use of plant species as traditional medicine for treatment of various diseases.
