Abstract

Plants are a local valuable with primary importance. This world is blessed with an abundance of medicinal plants. They are an alternative to antibiotics in non-served infections. They are also important in complementary and alternative medicine because they have developed the ability to produce various phytochemicals, which are used to restore health. Natural products derived from plants and animals provide a wealth of newer medicinal agents with clinical potential. The present study investigates the phytochemical analysis of Aegle marmelos L. and Cardiospermum halicacabum L. in different solvent extracts viz aqueous, chloroform, ethanol, and petroleum ether extracts. Alkaloids, Carbohydrates, Glycosides, Flavones, Flavanones, Gums, Mucilage, Oil, Fats, Protein, Amino acids, Saponins, Steroids, Tannin, Phenol, and Triterpenoids were the most abundant phytochemicals in both the aqueous and ethanolic extracts. Phytochemical analysis from plant extracts serves as a foundation for further phytochemical and pharmacological research, which could lead to the discovery of new clinically effective compounds.
