Asparagus racemosus is an important medicinal plant. Its medicinal usages has been reported in Indian and British pharmacopoeias. Qualitative preliminary phytochemical analysis was performed on the crude extract for the presence of bioactive compounds. The pure compound isolated to the Column chromatography and purified this compound by Thin Layer Chromatography with suitable solvent systems and visualizing reagents. Structure elucidation of pure compound has been accomplished through the extensive use of UV-Visible, IR, 1HNMR and Mass spectroscopy. Phytochemistry and spectral analysis showed the presence of steroidal saponin in Asparagus racemosus leaves extract.
