Abstract
Euphorbia hirta Linn. of family Euphorbiaceae is found abundant in the plane areas, near rivers and on marshy lands. The whole herbs were collected from a village of Tehsil Multai district Betul a tribal area of Madhya Pradesh region during winter months. The powdered material was extracted in soxhlet uprights which gave
maximum 7.66% yield in water and 3.21% in 90% alcohol. The
water extract was further purified using column chromatography
and TLC. An isoflavone glycoside isolated from the plant showed
antimalarial activities at different concentrations.
