- ABSTRACT Secondary metabolites of plants are beneficial for getting relief from various diseases in human being and different animals. It has been reported that Moringa oleifera extract contains variety of bioactive compounds. Present study was aimed at a detailed investigation on secondary metabolites present in the leaf of Moringa oleifera. The samples were extracted in 70 % ethanol, acetone and distilled water using Soxhlet apparatus, collected and stored at 40C. The extracts were evaporated and dried at 600C. The phytochemicals were screened following standard protocol. Extract contained alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, cardiac glycosides, carbohydrate, proteins and steroids. The findings of the study concluded that moringa leaf extracts have potential bioactive compounds that are used to overcome the problem of disease resistance.
