Abstract :

India has an ancient heritage of traditional medicine derived from plant. Materia medica of India provides lots of information on the folklore practices and traditional aspects of therapeutically important natural products. So Eclipta alba is one of the medicinal plants which show many pharmacologically as well as therapeutically effective for the different purposes for the human beings. Aim: The aim of the study is to investigate Phytochemical screening of Eclipta alba showed Petroleum Ether, Chloroform, N-Butanol and Aqueous extract of Eclipta alba and the presence of different secondary metabolites responsible for the therapeutic values of the drug like presence of Alkaloids, Glycosides, flavonoids and saponins , chromatographic technique through TLC , calculation of Phenolic and total proanthocyanidin content as well as calculation of DPPH method for antioxidant study and also to find out the anthelmintic activity study by in vitro test species Pheretima posthuma responded towards our plant extracts by showing the sign of paralysis and death finally Result: The different extracts were as Petroleum Ether, Chloroform, N-Butanol and Aqueous extract has 1.668%, 1.748%, 4.642% and 9.775% w/w (Table-1). The soxhlet extraction was done using the Petroleum Ether, Chloroform, n-Butanol and Aqueous respectively and the finding showed Aqueous has a higher percentage of extract 9.775% w/w. Conclusion: Chemical tests on ethyl acetate extract showed the presence of alkaloid, glycoside and saponins compounds present in different extracts. The data revealed that the N-Butanol and aqueous extract of Eclipta alba showed potent anthelmintic activity as compaired to other extracts with and DPPH method for antioxidant study etc.
