Present study shows that,the glycoside present in both the selected species. The presence investigation shows various concentration of alkaloid, flavonoids and saponin like 1.56, 0.55, 3.56 gm/100gm respectively in Saraca asoca (Roxb.) 0.71, 0.37, and 4.30gm in Polyalthia longifolia (Sonn.) bark. The present investigation revealed that the various phytochemical components such as carbohydrates, flavonoids, saponin, tannin, phenol, glycoside and sterols are present in Saraca asoca (Roxb.).It has antimicrobial activity against various microorganism such as Bacillus subtilis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeroginosa and E.coli.
