Since ancient times, plants have been an exemplary source of medicine. The bioactive constituents are generally found in most of the plant parts and used as traditional medicines. The study such as ethno medicine keenly represents one of the best avenues in searching new economic plants for medicine. The present study was carried out to find the phytochemical constituents in the Ficus racemosa bark and Cissampelos pareira root. The plant parts were collected from Malkangiri district of Odisha. They were shade dried, cut into pieces, grinded and passed through sieve number 60.The extracts were obtained with solvent methanol using Soxhlet apparatus. Preliminary phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloids, tannins, phytosterols, flavonoids, triterpenoids and saponins in those two plant extracts. The phytoconstituents were isolated from the methanolic extracts of Ficus racemosa bark and Cissampelos pareira root by column chromatography. The solvent system for column chromatography was selected on the basis of separation achieved by TLC.
