In the present study, an attempt was taken to explore the preliminary phytochemical analysis of Ctenolepis garcinii (Burm. f.) C.B. Clarke. The preliminary phytochemical analysis was conducted by Harborne method. The preliminary phytochemical analysis of Ctenolepis garcinii (Burm.f) C.B. Clarke showed the presence of fourteen different types of secondary metabolites such as anthrocyanin, alkaloids, steroids, tannins, saponnins, flavonoids, quinones, glycosides, cardiac glycoside, terpenoids, phenols, anthroquinone, phlobatannins and coumarins were reported in the various extracts including methanol, chloroform and benzene. From the observation, it was concluded that the different extracts of Ctenolepis garcinii (Burm.f) C.B. Clarke show the presence of a number of active secondary metabolites. Hence this report may lead to the isolation and characterization of these active secondary metabolites for bioefficacy and bioactivity.
