Abstract

This present study reports 84 methanolic extracts prepared from the 54 Indian plants belonging to 33 different families collected from the forest located in Eastern Ghats of India. A qualitative preliminary phytochemical screening was performed on aforesaid extracts for the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, steroids and terpenoids. Each analysis was carried out in triplicate, which resulted a total of 22, 19, 37 and 30 plant species were found to give positive results for alkaloids (41%), flavonoids (35%), steroids (69%) and terpenoids (56%), respectively.
