Abstract: Eucalyptus globules yielded highest in case of leaves extract, while in case of fruit extract Annona squamosa yield highest and in case of seed extract Butea frondosa yield was highest. Phytochemical evaluation showed that Ailenthus excels (leaves) extract was positive for alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, phenolic compounds and triterpenoids, while in Calotropis procera (leaves) methanolic extract alkaloids, flavonoids and tannins were identified and in case of Chenopodium album (seeds) alkaloids, saponins, glycosides, fixed oils and tannins were present.

Keywords: Phytochemical, medicinal plants, alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, phenolic compounds, triterpenoids
