Preliminary Phytochemical screening of Leaf extracts of Adenium – Desert Rose An Economically Important medicinal and ornamental plant

The preliminary qualitative phytochemical screening/ analysis of four different solvents has been used like methanol, ethanol, chloroform, and ethyl acetate to extract Phytochemicals from the leaves of Adenium obesum. The present investigation shows the phytochemical analysis confirmed presence of bioactive compounds like tannins, flavonoids, terpenoids, steroids, glycosides, alkaloids, phenol, carbohydrate, protein and lipids. The study concludes that the plant extracts or isolated phytochemicals can be used as safe novel medicine in the near future for therapy and prevention of different diseases in the future. From the above results, it can be concluded that among the 12 different phytochemical tests conducted in this study, for the isolation and characterization of tannins, terpenoids, alkaloids, and lipid compounds, they can be extracted using any kind of solvent among methanol, ethanol, chloroform and ethyl acetate. Since, they are present on all the four different extracts of Adenium obesum.
