Tridax procumbens is a plant belonging the family liliaceae or asteraceae, generally used in traditional medicines. Plants have long been used as a source of medication, and India's healthcare system heavily relies on them. In the current study, the various phytochemicals found in Tridax procumbens one of the medicinally significant plants commonly found in subtropical countries and growing primarily at waste places and roadsides throughout India during the rainy season were evaluated using chromatography. Flowers have a capitulum inflorescence, are tubular in shape, and are yellow in colour. This has disc florets with a basal placentation and ray florets, two different types of flowers. It shows hepatoprotective, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-arithritic and wound healing activity containing different phytoconstituents such as Alkaloids, flavonoids, carotenoids, iso-sitosterol, luteolin, quercetin, oxoester, lauric acid, myristic, palmitic, arachidic, linoleic, and tannin. In this review we have studied about different analytical techninques of Tridax procumbens as HPLC, TLC, high resolution liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy

Tridax procumbens is a very promising species that produces secondary metabolites reported to have a variety of medicinal uses including among others, anti-anemic, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic and anesthetic properties. This species has a long history of traditional use by different communities. This study aimed to review the scientific literature regarding the medicinal properties, biological activity and phytochemical components of T. procumbens, a member of the Asteraceae family that originated in Central and South America. An extensive literature review was done using Metadatabase EDS, MedLine (PubMed), Science Direct, Web of Science, Academic Search Premier, Scielo, DOAJ Directory of Open Access Journals, JSTOR, and other sources to find information relevant to the medicinal uses of T. procumbens. At total of 130 studies were found that contained information about T. procumbens. Some of the papers were not included because of the relevance to this study, ending with a total of 111 relevant citations reported here. This review shows the importance of more studies to understand the potential of T. procumbens' secondary metabolites for medicinal or preventive treatment, making it a promising ethnobotanical resource. This review provides important information of this species and indicates that this species could be an effective, safe and affordable treatment for some ailments, especially in tropical areas where this plant is native and widely distributed.
