ABSTRACT
Many medicinal plants were studied for their contents of phytochemicals. Murraya koenigii is one of these plants. This study, primarily aimed to carry out a preliminary phytochemical screening to detect the major classes of bioactive compounds presented in Murraya koenigii dry leaves. Ethanolic solvent was used to determine the best solvent that can be used for extraction and to perform thin layer chromatography profiling. TLC was carried out in Silica gel plates using 2 mobile phase protocols, Chloroform: Ethanol: Methanol (1:1:1) and n-butanol: Acetonitrile: Distilled water (12.5:3.7:2.5) using ethanol as a solvent. Phytochemical screening of Ethanolic extract showed the presence of Alkaloids, glycosides, flavonoids, tannins, phenols, saponins and steroids. As well as Thin Layer Chromatographic studies of the Murraya koenigii Ethanolic leaf extract constituted different coloured phytochemical compounds with Keywords: Murraya koenigii, thin layer chromatography, column chromatography, Ethanolic extract.
