- Abstract
Euphorbiaceae or also called the Spurge family is a vast family of flowering plants including 322 genera and about 8,910 species. Most of the species are herbs, but some of them especially the tropical ones, are shrubs or trees. In the present study a comparative analysis of phytochemical constituents in different parts of two species of family Euphorbieaceae, i.e., Emblica officinalis (Amla) and Phyallanthus niruri (Bhui amla) collected from Bastar district of Chhattisgarh, India was carried out. Seven secondary metabolites viz. cardiac glycosides, steroids, terpenoid, falvonoids, alkaloids, saponin and tannins were qualitatively analysed in different parts of the two speices in four different solvents petroleum ether, chloroform, methanol and Distilled Water (aqueous). Among the seven secondary metabolites analysed, steroid and terpenoids was found to present in all parts of E. officinalis in all four solvents but other phytocompounds were moderately found. But in P.niruri flavonoids, terpenoids and tannins were abundantly present in different solvents in comparison to other phytocompounds
