And the results show that the plant contained alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins,tanins and terpenoids in varying concentrations with saponins having the highest concentration, terpenoids,tannins ,flavonoids and alkaloids having the least concentration. The result was compared to a standard result and it was observed that these Phytochemicals has medicinal properties such as anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, etc.
