Abstract

Phytochemical studies of the aerial parts of Cassytha Filiformis Linn and leaves of Cleistopholis patens Benth were analysed. The phytochemical analyses of the methanol, hot water and n-hexane extracts of Cassytha Filiformis Linn and Cleistopholis patens showed the presence of glycosides, steroids, terpenoids, alkaloids, carbohydrates, acidic compounds, resins, saponins, tannins, fats and oil and flavonoids. Phytochemical like proteins was not detected.
