Abstract

Pergularia daemia and Cassia auriculata has a long history of use in the Ayurvedic and Unani systems of medicine. It contains a number of phytoconstituents viz. alkaloids, phytosterols, glycosides, amino acids, proteins, phenolic acids, enzymes, vitamins, sugars, minerals, flavonoids, resins, terpenoids etc The plant powder was extracted successively with different organic solvents (i.e. benzene, chloroform, acetone, ethyl acetate, methanol and ethanol). Then the extracts were assessed for the presence of phytochemical components. The results revealed the presence of proteins, carbohydrates, steroids, tannins, flavaniods, alkaloids, glycosides, saponins and resins. Ethanol extract were found to have all major phytochemical constituents in both the plants.
