Preliminary Phytochemical Analysis of Euphorbia hirta Linn. Leaves
Journal Title: International Journal of Life Science - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Medicinal plants have biologically compounds which are used for treating various human diseases and also play an important role in curing. Phytochemicals have two categories i.e., primary and secondary constituents. Primary constituents involve chlorophyll, proteins sugar and amino acids whereas secondary constituents contain terpenoids and alkaloids. Due to the presence of these secondary constituent’s medicinal plants show antifungal, antibacterial and anti-inflammation activities. The present study was designed to investigate the phytochemical screening and antimicrobial activities of Euphorbia hirta extracts. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloid, flavonoid, saponin, terpenoid, tannin and phenol in the extracts of aerial part of Euphorbia hirta.
