Abstract
The petroleum ether, benzene, chloroform and acetone extracts of Elaeocarpus serratus were prepared by following Soxhlet method of extraction. Subsequently, phytochemical screening of the extracts was performed by following standard methods. While from the chloroform extract, alkaloids and anthraquinone glycosides were found, flavonoids and anthraquinone glycosides were present in the acetone extract. In addition, from petroleum ether extract, flavonoids were detected. On the other hand, anthraquinone glycosides were found in the benzene extract.
