The compounds that are responsible for therapeutic effect are usually the secondary metabolites. Phytochemical screening of the plant revealed the presence of alkaloids, glycosides etc. In addition the values of percentage extractive and ash values, results of fluorescence analysis and phytochemical data will be helpful for the standardization and quality control of precious indigenous drug.
