Jharkhand is a biodiversity hotspot for medicinal plants, crucial for both traditional tribal healthcare and modern medicine with vast forest and over 32 tribal groups used for ailments from fever to diabetes. All of the medicinal plants that may be found on earth today have specific therapeutic use and importance. Our research work is based on the qualitative phytochemical studies of extract obtained from leaves of Moringa oleifera, Tinospora cordifolia, Andrographis paniculata, Bryophyllum pinnatum and Azardirachta indica were collected from Pirtand block of Giridih District. These leaf extracts were prepared by using different solvents like methanol, acetone, chloroform and aqueous. Phytochemical screening of these medicinal plants showed the maximum amount of alkaloid, tarpenoid, phenol, flavonoid and tannin in all the extracts. However methanolic extracts showed good results when compared to other solvent systems. The phytochemical screening of these medicinal plants is commercially very significant and is very important for producing new medication for treatment of different diseases.
