Abstract

Aconitum heterophyllum plants were studied for the presence of phytochemicals. Methanol extracts of leaves, roots and stems show the presence of corresponding phytochemicals like alkaloids, carbohydrates, protein, amino acid, cardiac glycosides, phenols, flavonoids, saponins, terpenoids and quinones. However the leaves, roots and stem methanol extracts do not shows the presence of Glycosides.TLC profiling of all plant extracts also give an idea about the presence of these phytochemicals. Rf (Retention factor)  value  of  different phytochemicals  provide  valuable  clue  regarding  their  polarity  and  selection  of solvents for separation of phytochemicals.
