RESULTS :
The qualitative analysis were done to find out which phytochemicals found in the selected plants.
The selected plants shows the traces of the secondary metabolites in their leaves. The plant
Achyranthes aspera shows the presence alkaloids, phenols, tannins, cardiac glycosides and
reducing sugar. The plant Phyllanthus niruri shows the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids,
terpenoids, saponins, tannins. The plant Leea indica shows the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids,
tannins, reducing sugar.
CONCLUSION :
The three selected plants possess the different kinds of the phytochemicals in their leaves.
Medicinal plants are the richest source of secondary metabolites which can act as bioactive
components. And this phytochemicals have medicinal properties which can be used for treating
and preventing various disease.This plants acts as antidiabetic,antiasthamatic,
antiviral,antibacterial,antitumor, analgesic, antifungal, anticarcinogenic agents. In future
allopathic medicines get replace by homeopathic medicines. It will reduce the dependence on the
pharmaceutical drugs. Phytochemical analysis will surely reveal the beneficial properties . This
study will definitely utilize the plants which considered to be weeds. It will be helpful in
searching for bioactive agents those can be used in the synthesis of useful drugs.
