The current article is designed for the extraction of chemical compound. Dichloromethane and methanol were applied to extract the chemical compound so that maximal number of compounds can be drawn out. Thin layer chromatography is applied as Analytical technique for the isolation and identification of the various compounds. Phytochemical analysis of aerial parts showed the presence of Tannins and cardiac glycosides. Cardioactive glycosides and Tannin and were reported in aerial parts of Araucaria columnaris for the first time. Therefore Araucaria columnaris can be used for further isolation and structural determination of cardioactive compounds
