Kalanchoe pinnata (KP) is commonly known as Cathedral bells belongs to the family Crassulaceae. Ficusracemosa (FR), a well known standard-sized tree in the family Moraceae. Both the plants are collected from Kurnool, Andhrapradesh, and Authenticated by Dr. K. Venkata Ratnam, Assistant Professor, Department of Botany, Rayalaseema University, Kurnool. Voucher specimens were preserved in the herbarium with voucher numbers RU871, RU872. In the present study Leaves of both the plants are extracted with aqueous alcohol in 70:30 ratio, The Percentage yield was 3.9, 5.5 in KP and FR respectively. preliminary phytochemical screening is done and found various phytoconstituents like Alkaloids, Tannins, Flavonoids, Glycosides, Phenols and Terpenoids in both extracts, various physiological parameters like Loss on Drying, Total ash, Acid insoluble ash, Water soluble ash, Swelling Index, Foaming index were performed. The total phenolic contents were estimated as 54.85±0.149% w/w and 48.89±0.261 %w/w equivalent of gallic acid respectively. Flavonoid contents were found as 65.24±0.672mg/g and 46.32±2.273mg/g of quercitin equivalent respectively. My further studies are aiming to structural elucidation and the anticancer activities of specific compounds in both the extracts. Keywords: Kalanchoepinnata, Ficusracemosa, Crasulaceae, Moraceae
