Online Published on 08 June, 2022. Abstract To investigate the phytochemical screening (group determination) of the plants leaves of Sida acuta Burm.f., and Sida rhombifolia Linn. family Malvaceae. In Ayurvedic system of medicine Sida acuta Burm.f., used as digestive, diuretic, fever, burning of the body and urinary discharge. Sida rhombifolia Linn. used as good in urinary complaints, discharge and strangury, useful in fever, heart diseases, burning sensations, piles, all kinds of inflammations. Present study involved Leaves of Sida acuta Burm.f., and Sida rhombifolia Linn. were studied by preliminary phytochemical screening of leaf powders using different solvent viz; petroleum ether, chloroform, acetone, ethanol and aqueous. Leaf extracts were subjected to preliminary phytochemical analysis of using standard procedures. The phytoconstituents present in it viz. alkaloids, carbhohydrates, glycosides, phytosterols, phenolic compounds, tannins, flavonoids, lignins and saponins are present in leaf extracts of Sida acuta Burm.f., and Sida rhombifolia Linn. The active principles of Sida acuta Burm.f., and Sida rhombifolia Linn. namely Manghaslin, Quercetin 3-(2Gxylosylrutinoside), Myricetin 7-Rhamnoside, Isorhamnetin 3-O-[b-D-glucopyranosyl-(1->2)-a Lrhamnopyranoside], Quercetin 3-(2Gxylosylrutinoside), Peltatoside, Rutin, Quercimeritrin are present. The diversity of phytochemicals study can serve as a valuable source of information and provide suitable standards for identification of this plant material in future investigations.
