| Abstract: | Photochemical screening of the Curculigo pilosa rhizomes using standard methods revealed the presence of flavonoids, terpenoid, saponins, tannins, alkaloid, cardiac glycosides and steroid, anthraquinone was partially present while reducing sugar was absent. The metabolites that analyzed were alkaloids (12.80±0.49), saponins (54.49±0.33). figure (44.88±0.36), tannins (69.49±0.65), phenols (50.40 ±0.34). oxalates (10.95±0.63), cyanides (44±.70) and phyiaie (5.00±0.05). These results confirm that the metabolites obtained from this plant is lower in toxicity levels according, to World Health Organization safe limits except for tannins, saponins which are slightly above the permissible limit. |
