Highlights
The nature provides remedies of majority of diseases to the mankind which has been a victim of diseases since the very beginning of their existence
The aim of the present study is to investigate the two undocumented edible medicinal herb leaf Typhonium trilobatum and Trichosanthes dioica for their qualitative and quatitative analysis and characterization of secondary metabolites which involves phytochemical screening assays, Total polyphenol content, Total flavonoid content, DPPH radical scavenging assay, ABTS radical scavenging assay, Total antioxidant capacity, Total tannin content and chromatographic techniques such as Column chromatography, HPLC and, TLC
Result of phytochemical sceening showed that, among different solvent extract most biologically active phytochemicals were present in 80% methanolic leaf extract of Trichosanthes dioica and Typhonium trilobatum, followed by aqueous extract irrespective of their content
