Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common diseases in the current years. Many medicinal plants are used since ancient times to cure diabetes. In this regard, Pergularia daemia and Aegle marmelos are among them. The aim of the present study to determine the preliminary phytochemical screening of both the leaves of Pergularia daemia and Aegle marmelos in different solvents like methanol, ethanol, chloroform, petroleum ether and aqueous by both qualitative and quantitative analysis. Phytoconstituents such as alkaloids, terpenoids, flavonoids, saponins, carbohydrates, and proteins were identified from both samples. The quantification of flavonoids, alkaloids and phenols were done. The results suggested that Pergularia daemia possess more phytoconstituents compared with Aegle marmelos.
