The objective of the present study was to find out the presence of prelimina ry phytochemicals in six different solvent extracts of Actiniopteris radiata (Swartz) link. by qualitative screening methods. The solvent used for the extraction of leaf and rhizome powder were ethanol, petroleum ether, chloroform, acetone, DMSO and aqueo us. The secondary metabolites such as steroids, triterpenoids, reducing sugars, sugars, alkaloids, phenolic compounds, catech ins, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, anthroquinones and amino acids were screened by using standard methods. The p hytochemical analy sis of the ethanolic extract of both (leaf & rhizome) revealed the presence of most active constituents than the other solvents. The ethanolic rhizome extracts of Actiniopteris radiata showed higher amount of phytochemicals when compared with the ethanolic leaf extracts.
