In this century we don?t reach the goal of the production of organic medicines for preventing various diseases. Culture development and growing population day by day make this situation more critical. The requirement of medicines increased every day for growing population as well as the regular uptake of such organic medicines cause various life threadning side effects. To resolve this problem, the people invented an alternative way in the period of 18th century. They knew medicinal plants were the major natural organic factories and that kind of plants had variety of active components. The technique named phytochemistry is mainly used to determine and screen the bioactive components present in plants. Plant species provides thousands of livelihood components (micronutrients and macronutrients) from their various parts. By this effect, researchers and scientists explored incalculable inventions about the isolation of active compounds present in different plant species and tabulated their medicinal properties. By the same enroutement, we also established the presence of active phyto constituents in Pergularia daemia. In this prelude, we present our current investigation about the presence of phyto constituents in whole plant of Pergularia daemia and the active components were isolated in two different solvent system (Methanol and Ethyl acetate). Our findings revealed that methanol extract has higher amount of alkaloids, steroids, flavonoids and tannoids than ethyl acetate extract. Ethyl acetate extract fructifically having terpinoids and glycosides. The isolated active components were identified by using various analytical tools such as TLC, HPLC, NMR and GC-MS.
