Abstract

The different species of genus Grewia are well known for their ethnobotanical significance and therapeutic characteristics. These plants possess several medicinal properties like antidiabetic, analgesic, antibiotic and antimicrobial properties. Any plant which possesses medicinal properties should be subjected to detailed pharmacognostic study so that its proper identification can be done. The perspective of present study was to carry out the estimation of phytochemical compounds from leaf powder samples of Grewia plant species. Phytochemical screening of different solvent extracts of the leaves revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins and tannins and irodoids along with minerals like calcium and potassium.
