- <p><span>The secondary metabolites present in medicinal plants are crucial for curing diseases and are also used as essential raw materials for the production of conventional and modern medicines. Garlic (Allium sativum, L.) is a bulbous annual flowering plant belonging to the family Liliaceae (Juss. 1789). Aqueous, Alcohol and Acetone extracts of garlic leaves and cloves were prepared using a Soxhlet apparatus. Phytochemical assays were carried out as per the standard protocol for the screening of phytochemical compounds. The phytochemical screening of aqueous, alcohol, and acetone extract showed the presence of glycosides, terpenoids flavonoids, phenols, carbohydrates, proteins, alkaloids, tannins, and flavanol. The alcoholic extract of cloves and leaves exhibited less compounds compared to Aqueous and Acetonic extracts. A review of literature suggests that components present in the extract are medically important and are used as antioxidant, radioprotective, antilipemic, antibiotic, antihypertensive, antiviral, antimicrobial, anticancer, immunomodulatory, anti-mutagenic, and anti-tumor effects.</span></p>
