Abstract:
The study was conducted to analyse the phytochemical constituent of Andrographis paniculata. A 60% ethanolic extract was prepared and the different phytochemicals were qualitatively analysed by standard protocol. A total of ten numbers of phytochemicals were tested, out of which the extract was positive for alkaloid, phenolic compunds, steroids, terpenoids, saponins, tannins, flavonoids and negative for glycosides, amino acids and proteins. Analysis was done on the basis of colour change and precipitate formation. Presence of different important phytochemicals indicates the importance of the plant as herbal medicine.
