In the present study, an attempt has been made to document the presence of phytochemicals and radical scavenging activity of the medicinal plant Solanum villosum (Mill) which is used in the indigenous system of medicine for therapeutic purposes. A plant contains many phytochemicals constituents including alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols, saponins, tannins, terpenoids, steroids, carbohydrates, glycosides, amino acids and proteins.
