Abstract: The present examination was planned to comprehend the phytochemical screenings of the methanol extract of marine red alga Botryocladia leptopoda. The methanol extract of B. leptopoda demonstrated the nearness of steroids, anthroquinones, alkaloids, triterpenoids, saponins, glycosides, flavonoids, phenols and tannins. In this way, B. leptopoda has significant lots of primary and secondary phytochemicals. Among the phytochemical contents the triterpenoids and glycosides are available in higher amounts. The present study on B. leptopoda exhibited various novel phytochemical, which can exploit and used for human well beings.
Keywords: Marine algae, Botryocladia leptopoda, Phytochemicals, Phenols.
