It is estimated that more than 25% of modern medicines are directly or indirectly derived from plants. In this context, it is worth mentioning that Indian medicinal plants are considered a vast source of several pharmaceutically active principles and compounds that are commonly used in home remedies against multiple ailments. The objective of this research is to conduct the preliminary phytochemical screening, of Boerhavia diffusa. Boerhavia diffusa leaves and stem were collected in march. Extracts of various plants parts were prepared using solvents like water (cold and hot) and organic solvents (methanol, ethanol, ethyl acetate, acetone). It refers to the extraction, screening and identification of the medicinally active substances found in plants. Some of the bioactive substances that can be derived from plants are carbohydrate, protein, flavonoids, alkaloids, tannin, and phenolic compounds.
