Abstract
Medicinal plants possess biologically active components called phytochemicals which are administered for curing of various human ailments and also take part in significant role in healing. Phytochemicals are of two categories i.e., primary and secondary constituents. Primary constituents include proteins, chlorophyll, sugar and amino acids. Secondary constituents contain alkaloids and terpenoids. Medicinal plants have antifungal, antibacterial and anti-inflammation activities because of these phytochemicals. The aqueous extract of leaf samples of the medicinal plant Aerva lanata are collected from agricultural lands of S.Kota. This extract is used for the phytochemical analysis to find out the phytochemical constituents in the plants with an objective to check the presence or absence of the phytochemical constituents in the selected plant. The results of the phytochemical analysis of the plant leaf extract shows that the terpenoids, tannins, reducing sugar, flavonoids and alkaloids are found to be present in afore mentioned medicinal plant. The phytochemical analysis of the plants is very much essential commercially and has huge attention in pharmaceutical industries for the fabrication of the novel drugs for treating various diseases. It is supposed that the key phytochemical properties identified by this study will be very helpful in the treatment of various diseases.
Keywords- Phytochemicals, Aerva lanata, alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, FTIR, tannins.
