According to the World Health Organization, plants are a source of compounds that have the ability to combat disease, antimicrobial, antiviral and antifungal activities. The most important of these bioactive constituents of plants are alkaloids, tannins, flavonoids and phenolic compounds. Halophytes are salt tolerant plants. They contain high amount of secondary metabolites or phytoconstituents. Correlation between the phytoconstituents and the bioactivity of plant is desirable to know for the synthesis of compounds with specific activities to treat various health ailments and chronic diseases as well. The study of the halophytic plant for the preliminary screening of different phytoconstituents is important. Here, I have done preliminary phytochemical screening of Halophytic plant Heliotropium Curassavicum L.
