Many compounds have been reported from the various parts of the plant. In the present study, acetone and methanol extract of the leaves of the plant was subjected to thin layer Chromatography and protein inhibition activity. Several phytoconstituents were identified used thin layer Chromatography and these compounds showed significant protein inhibition activity.
