Abstract

The given present study was aimed to for the development of physicochemical parameters of Goldan Erecta (Duranta), traditionally known as Goldan dew drop belonging to family Verbenaceae. Study comprises physico-chemical, phytochemical evaluation to study and evaluate the purity and authantificity of Goldan Duranta repens L, by using standard methods. To study the phytochemical constituents, the leaves were extracted by pet ether, chloroform and methanol solvents. The result revels that the presence of carbohydrates, alkaloids, steroids, saponins, flavonoids, cardiac glycosides, in the different extract of D. repens L. In this study it was planed to present work on plant to highlight the main potential of this plant.
