Abstract

Medicinal plants are resources of new drugs. Phyllanthus niruri L.(Euphorbiaceae) is a widespread tropical herb. The phytochemical screening and quantification of primary metabolites in the plants collected from three geographical locations. Maximum extractive value (3.951%) was found in water extract among test solvents. All metabolites were qualitatively present in water and ethanolic extracts.
