Preliminary Phytochemical Screening of Different Solvent Extracts of Leaves and Stem of Eriolaena Quinquelocularis (Wight and Arn) Wight

India is atreasure hotspot of biodiversity whicg host a large variety of medicinal plants. They provide the raw material for use in all the indegenous systems of medicine. A thorough knowlrdge of chemical composition is a prerequisite for using a plant for medicinal purposes. The genus Eriolaena belongs to the family Malvaceae. The native range of the Eriolaena quinquelocularis (Wight and Arn.) Wight. Is India to China (S. Yunnan). Is is medium sized tree and grows primerly in the seasonally dry tropical biome. The present study was aimed to screen the various phytochemicals from the aqueous, methanol, ethanol and petroleum ether exytacts of leaves and sten of Eriolaena quinquelocularis (Wight and Arn.) Wight. The extracts were subjected to qualitative phytochemical screening using standard procedures. Four different extracts of leaves and stems of E. quinquelocularis were found to contain various secondary metabolites like alkaloids, protein and aminoacids, saponins, phenols and Tannins. The phytochemicals generated data from the four different extracts of E. quinquelocularis may be used as tools for quality control of drugs in the future, for the healing of a diversity of disease conditions.
