چکیده
Alkaloids, tannins, saponins, steroids, terpenoids and flavonoids distribution in n-hexane and aqueousmethanolic extract of kalanchoe laciniata was assessed and compared. The present study was carried out to study the phytochemical constituents of Kalanchoe laciniata. Aqueous-methanol and n-hexane were the solvents used for the extraction of the plant. Phytochemical analysis was carried out on both extracts, indicated that n-hexane extract constitutes tannins, terpenoids while the aqueous methanolic extract contains saponins, tannins, terpenoids, flavonoids, glycosides and anthraquinones.
