The triphytochemical screening of three extracts (etheric, ethanolic and aqueous) of Malva sylvestris L. revealed that the seed contain alkaloids, sterols and steroïds, reducing sugars, tannins, emodols, starch, coumarins and the stem contain flavonoids, tannins, starch, saponins, alkaloids, emodols, sterols and steroids, reducing compounds, coumarins and anthocyanosids which give the medicines several healing properties. The separation of the bioactive compounds from the two parts of the plant extracts was carried out using thin layer chromatography (TLC). However; the aqueous acetone extract of the seed and the stem identified the phenolic compounds such as phenolic acids.
