Phytochemical screening of a medicinal plant Urtica dioïca L

The plant world is an excellent source of active substances, which gives it an important antibacterial activity, often sought in alternative medicine and agri-food for the conservation of food. Our work focuses on the phytochemical study of a medicinal plant, Urtica dioïca (Urticaceae). The phytochemical screening of Urtica dioïca revealed the presence of secondary metabolites: flavonoids, tannins, mucilages and saponosides. Selective extractions revealed significant yields compared to studies conducted on the same species in other countries. The qualitative analysis of the extract by thin layer chromatography (TLC) revealed the presence of Flavonones, phenol acid and Luteolin-7-glucoside
