There are numerous medicinal plants in the Southern and Eastern Nigeria. These widely utilized Nigerian traditional system of medicine for treatment countless illnesses. This paper focused on phytochemical essential composition aerial parts Leonurus cardiaca. The oil screening characterization were carried out using high performance liquid chromatography gas chromatography. Results obtained from this investigation showed seven different terpenoids their total concentrations 26.19 x 10-1 (mg/100 g), nine phenolic acids (506.33 mg/100 twelve saponin (62.33 cyanogenic glycosides (118.03 thirteen (16.17 five (5) anthocyanins (56.53 twenty six alkaloids (1.31 flavonoids (7.31 sterol (5.91 tannins (426.49 phytate (69.12 g). Analysis oils fourty one (100. 00 %). Our uncovering indicated cardiaca is an excellent source terpenoids, saponins, alkaloids, anthraquinones, anthocyanins, acid, sterols, glycoside, phytate, tannins, glycosides, oils. present research exemplify preparatory detection discretion or selection potential novel therapies various diseases.
