Abstract

Calotropis procera Linn. (Family: Asclepiadaceae) is primarily harvested because of its distinctive medicinal properties. In the present research work, samples were collected from Indo- Gangetic plain in Patna region for analysis of Chemical constituents. Different parts (Leaves, Stems and Flowers) of the Calotropis procera were subjected to screen secondary metabolites such as Alkaloids, Steroid, Terpenoids, Resin, Glycosides. Physico- chemical studies thus indicate more potentiality of Calotropis procera. The Phytochemical are biologically active and structurally unique compounds which may be useful for generation of new medicines. The result indicated that secondary metabolites can be explored for formulation and development of newer and safer drugs.
