Darshika Acharya and Meenakshi Vaidya*

Abstract

Unfortunately, most of the compounds have not properly been evaluated for the exploration of new lead molecule or pharmacophore. Hence, extensive research is required to find out the mechanisms of action as well as bioactivity of the various phytochemicals and efficacy of the medicinal values of plants. The plant Euphorbia hirta is commonly called as Asthma weed. It belongs to the family Euphorbiaceae. The present study is detailed out to complete fluorescence analysis. The study will provide proper information about the presence of bioactive molecules in the crude drug i.e. Euphorbia hirta plant. Thus in the near future Euphorbia hirta extracts could be further exploited as a source of useful phytochemical compounds and may play a very important role in modern system of medicine.

Keywords: Euphorbia hirta, fluorescence analysis, bioactive molecules.
