Abstract
This study was carried out to know the photochemical constituents of Chromolaena odorata. This is a specie from family of Asteraceae. Experimental method was used in this study; during which fresh leaves of Chromolaena odorata was plucked, washed and dried using an oven at 50°C- 100°C. The leaves were pulverized into coarse form with electrical blender. The crude extracts were obtained by using ethanolic and aqueous solution. The extracts were tested for phytochemicals such as flavonoid, tannins, saponias, steroid, phenol and alkaloids. Saponin was only present in aqueous solution. The research concluded that Chromolaena odorata possess antibacterial, antifungal, antiparastic and anti-inflammatory properties. The study recommends that Chromolaena Odorata can be employed for the treatment of different bacteria in the indigenous system of medicine.
