Medicinal plants have been used for centuries before the advent of orthodox medicine. The plant kingdom represents an enormous reservoir of biologically active compounds with various chemical structures and protective / disease-preventive properties. They synthesize and preserve various biochemical products, which are extractable and used as chemical feedstock’s or raw materials for various scientific investigations. Leaves, flowers, stems, roots, seeds, fruits, and bark all can be constituents of herbal medicines. This study aims to provide an overview of extract ants and the extraction process of Laportea Crenulata, Glycyrrhiza Glabra, Adhatoda Vasica, Cynodon Dactylon, Cyperus Rotundus, Croton Laciferus, Solanum Trilobatum, Aancyclus Pyrethrum,Commiphora Myrra and Rhus Succedaanea to focus to the evaluation of phytochemical components- Methanol extracts of various medicinal plants. Our research shows medicinal plants containing secondary metabolites such as tannin and saponins flavonoids steroids, phenolic compounds, alkaloids, glycosides, and anthraquinones.
