Description

Qualitative phytochemical screening of Croton bonplandianus leaves was carried out, and 
results are presented in this chapter. In the aqueous extract, tannin, saponin, and reducing sugar were 
detected. Tannin and saponin were observed in the methanol extract, whereas tannin, saponin, and 
reducing sugar were detected in the ethanol extract. The detected bioactive compounds showed the 
pharmacological potential of C. bonplandianus leaves, and they may be responsible for curing 
microbial infections.
