Abstract: The objective of the present study was to evaluate the physicochemical, phytochemical constitution, Thin Layer Chromatography and antioxidant activity of ethanolic extract of whole plant of Waltheria indica(Linn.) Various physicochemical parameters such Total ash value, Water soluble ash value, Acid insoluble ash value. Qualitative analysis of Phytochemical constituents’ viz. tannins, saponins, flavonoids, steroids, alkaloids, quinones, terpenoids and cardiac glycosides. Thin layer chromatography it revealed the presence of various phytoconstituents like alkaloids, carbohydrates, phytosterols,Saponins, and proteins.
Keywords: Physicochemical, Phytochemical, Waltheria indica, Total ash value, Water soluble ash value, Acid insoluble ash value,Antioxidant activity, TLC.
