Abstract

To evaluate the phytochemical activity of different extract of aerial parts of Alysicarpus monilifer belonging to the family Fabacea. The aerial parts were collected and extract prepared from petroleum ether, ethyl acetate and methanol by hot continuous percolation method in a Soxhlet apparatus for 24 hrs. The preliminary phytochemical investigation shows presence of alkaloids, proteins & free amino acids, glycosides, phytosterols, saponins,carbohydrates & free reducing sugars, tannins & phenolic compounds and flavonoids.
