Abstract:

Hydrocotyle umbellata, commonly known as water pennywort, is renowned for its medicinal properties in traditional medicine. This study aimed to conduct a qualitative phytochemical analysis of Hydrocotyle umbellata leaf extract to identify its chemical constituents. Various standard phytochemical tests were employed to detect alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, saponins and other secondary metabolites. The findings contribute to understanding the chemical composition of Hydrocotyle umbellata and its potential pharmacological applications.
