The results indicated a moderate presence of alkaloids on B. seneglansis and A. bracteulata and weak presence for N. lotus, C. glandulosa and B. papyriferae. Tannins were detected highly presence for B. seneglansis, N. lotus and moderate presence for other plants. Also flavonoids represented moderate presence for N. lotus and weakly presence for other plants. Remarkable cytotoxicity revealed for B.seneglansis with high value equal to 1.975 µg/ml. On the other hand B.paprifera, N.lotus, C.glandulosa and A. bracteulata represented cytotoxicity equal 14.96, 316.22, 635.1 and > 1000 µg/ml respectively.
