Abstract
Phytochemical screening of Ormocarpum cochinchinense leaf extracts was carried out using different solvents. Leaf extracts were tested for the presence of bioactive compounds such as terpenoids, alkaloids, glycosides, steroids, phenols, tannins, Flavonoids and saponins by standard methods. Among different extracts analyzed, aqueous showed maximum number of phytochemicals followed by methanolic extract. Alkaloids were present in ethyl acetate, ethanol, methanol and aqueous extracts respectively. Quantification of alkaloids in the leaf sample was found to be 4.3 mg/g dry weight. Betacyanin was present in ethanol, aqueous, methanol and petroleum ether extracts. Cardiac gylcosides was observed in methanol, petroleum ether and aqueous extracts whereas, Flavonoids was present only in two extracts namely methanol and aqueous. Saponins were found in methanol, ethanol, chloroform and aqueous extracts. Anthocyanins and glycosides were completely absent in all the solvent extracts.
