Abstract
The leaves of Prosopis spicigera were successive extracted with versatile solvents to get crude extracts, and were subjected to phytochemical analysis. The preliminary phytochemical screening revealed the presence of proteins, carbohydrates and tannins in the petroleum ether extract. Ethyl acetate extract contains proteins, carbohydrates, tannins, saponins, alkaloids, phenolics and steroids. Methanolic extract contains proteins, carbohydrates, tannins, saponins, alkaloids and flavonoiuds. Ethanolic extract contains proteins, carbohydrates and alkaloids which could make the plant useful for treating different ailments as having a potential of providing useful drugs for human use. With this view may helpful to search any new compounds from this part of the plant could be isolated hereafter, and the presence of phytochemical constituents from P. spicigera leaves may helpful to future investigations of this plant.
