Thespesia populnea, commonly known as the Portia treeis species of flowering plant in the mallow family, Malvaceae. Thespesia populnea is medicinally important plant species used to treat different diseases. The present work is aimed to screen the leaves of this medicinal plant for phyto-chemical studies. Leaf powder of these plant was dissolved in methanolic solvents and screened for secondary metabolites. Leaves of Thespesia populnea revealed that the presence of Steroid, Coumarin, Diterpenes, Alkaloid, Amino- Acids, Phyto-Sterol, Cardial Glycosides etc. Thespesia populnea plant leaves shows variation in synthesis of secondary metabolites. Thespesia accumulates more number of secondary metabolites. Aqueous and methanol extracts are suitable for extraction of secondary metabolites for Thespesia species. The findings of the present study will be helpful to the phyto-chemists and pharmacologists.
KEYWORDS
Preliminary phyto-chemical investigation of the methanolic extract of the leaves of the plant Thespesia populnea shows the presence of Steroid, Coumarin, Alkaloids, Amino acid, Diterpenes, Phyto-sterol, and Cardial Glycosides .There is slight variation in contents. It might be due to plant source variation and change of method of extraction. On the basis of these data, researcher can easily isolate the particular leaves extract for qualitative analysis.
