The qualitative preliminary phytochemical screening of methanol, hexane and aqueous extracts showed the presence of alkaloids, saponins, Total phenols and tannins, steroids and absence of remaining secondary metabolites. The total alkaloidsestablishedin the aqueous extract was 2.25mg/g and total saponin content was FI < 100. The phytochemicals recognized in this present investigationcould be utilized as tools for drug quality control obtained fromC.asiaticain the future, for the healing of a diversity of disease circumstances.
