ABSTRACT
In the present study secondary phytoconstituents of Madhuca latifolia Roxb were qualitatively determined and quantitatively estimated. Qualitative determination was carried out in leaves, stem bark and root bark. The chemical extraction was done using different solvents likes acetone, ethanol, chloroform and water. These plant parts showed the presence of secondary phytochemicals such as saponins, alkaloids, glycosides, steroids, phenols, terpenoids, flavonoids and tannin. The estimated quantity of total alkaloid was highest in leaves 238 mg/g and lowest in stem barks 026 mg/gm. The quantity of total flavonoids and total saponins estimated was more in leaves 297 mg/gm and 221mg/g as compare to stem barks and root barks. The result of the present investigation supports the traditional as well as pharmacological uses of this plant in preparing drug, chemicals and therapeutic agent for various ailments.
