Abstract

Phytolacca latbenia (Moq.) walte locally known as Luber belonging to family Phytollacaceae is used in traditional medicine system and pharmaceutical industries as well. Whole plant is medicinally important. The aim of this study was to analyze the seeds of Phytolacca latbenia (Moq.) Walte physico-chemically and phytochemically. Various bioactive compounds (alkaloids, terpenoids, favonoids, saponins, carbohydrate, proteins etc) were detected in water extract, while other solvents were not ideal for extraction few compounds were screened out from them. High extraction was done by water solvent and low value was in acetone solvent. Seeds of Phytolacca latbenia showed variety of therapeutic potential due to the presence of several phytochemical compounds.
