Plants are dependent on phytochemicals for defense and other interactions with their surroundings. These phytochemicals with biological activity are the new class of pharmaceutical compounds which has a novel chemical structures and modes of action in various diseases including cancers. The qualitative and quantitative analysis of the extremely important biologically active phytochemicals in medicinal plants. Plants have therapeutic value against cancer because they contain certain bioactive components. To identify the phytoconstituents in the extracts of Jackfruit, scientifically named as Artocarpus heterophyllus was carried out in this study.The few studies were reported that the Artocarpus heterophyllus extracts possess several antioxidants, antidiabetic, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. The methanol extract of Jackfruit Kernel, Rind and Seed samples were collected using the Soxhlet equipment, by using the previous reported phytochemical analysis techniques for alkaloids, steroids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, and terpenoids were qualitatively estimated. Alkaloids, Steroids,Tannin and Saponin were present in all parts of Artocarpus heterophyllus. These functional components are finding provided scientific evidence for the use of these traditionally used medicinal plants against diseases.
