Abstract Tribal communities in India have a long history of using traditional medicinal plants as primary healthcare. In Dhule District of Maharashtra state of India, tribal people use many indigenous plants to solve various health-related problems in remote areas where no medical facilities are available for them. Phyllanthus maderaspatensis (family Phyllanthaceae) and Biophytum sensitivum (family Oxalidaceae) are plants used as remedies to cure digestive issues, fever, wounds, and inflammatory conditions by the Pawara tribe. This research study aims to investigate phytochemical analysis of two traditional medicinal plants used by the Pawara tribe which can be useful to create novel drugs. Primary phytochemical analysis reveals the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, phenols, and terpenoids, within the genus Phyllanthus and Biophytum species. Primary phytochemical investigation is very important for identifying plant compounds, validating traditional medicine and discovery of novel drugs. These findings show a scientific basis for further bioactivity testing and isolation of active compounds.
