The drug has various pharmacological activities like anti- inflammatory,anti-viral,anti-cancer,anti-oxidant and analgesic activity.Aim:The aim of the study is to perform qualitative phytochemical evaluation, biochemical analysis and physico chemical analysis of vishnukiranti kudineer. Material and methods : The raw drug vishnukiranti (whole plant) was bought from reputed herbal drug shop, Thackkalay Kanyakumari, and it is purified and made into decoction as per the siddha literature. Results: The phytochemical evaluation showed Terpenoids, alkaloids, glycosides, quinones, proteins. The biochemical analysis showed the presence of sulphate, chloride, Tannic acid, unsaturated compound,reducing sugar.The Physico chemical compounds are total ash 9.95% Acid insoluble ash 1.01%, Water soluble ash 1.78%, Sulphate ash 16.25%, Alcohol soluble extracts 10.38%, Water soluble extracts 11.11%.
