The aim of the present study was to determine phytochemical analysis and the total phenol contents of the leaves of Paederiafoetida, Clerodendrumsiphonanthes and Blumeopsisflava. Leave extract were prepared with methanol by Soxhlet apparatus. Total phenolic contents were determined by Folin-Ciocalteus reagent method. Alkaloid, phenol, flavonoid, terpenoid, glycoside, saponin and steroid were detected in Paederiafoetida but high concentration in terpenoid and steroid. Saponin was absent inBlumeopsisflava. Steroid was also not found in Blumeopsisflava and Clerodendrumsiphonanthes. The total phenolic contents of the methanol e¬xtract of P. foetida, C. siphonanthes and B. flava in terms of Gallic acid equivalent were 138.33 ± 6.41, 131.67 ± 5.77 and 71.25 ± 7.60 mg/g of extract respectively. Paederiafoetida exhibited highest total phenolic contents then followed by C. siphonanthes and B. flava. It is evident that Paederiafoetidahas highest therapeutic efficacy. The present study indicates that these plants are of therapeutic potential due to the presence of various phytochemicals.
