General: Asteraceae are a plant family widely used in traditional medicine. Acanthospermum hispidum highlighted in this work is very rich in therapeutic molecules. Objective: This study consisted in highlighting the wealth of molecules of interest of Acanthospermum hispidum. Methodology: Phytochemical screening carried out through characterization tests to concern certain secondary metabolites such as tannins, alkaloids, terpenes, flavonoids. Chromatographic studies were used for the analysis of the various extracts of Acanthospermum hispidum. Results: The characterization tests showed the presence of tannins, flavonoids, alkaloids and triterpenes, while the saponosides were found in the methanolic and aqueous fraction of the ethaolic extract of Acanthospermum hispidum. Chromatographic tests were found in the various extracts of the metabolites of interest such as flavonoids and terpene compounds. Conclusion: These results are probably a scientific source for the use of Acanthospermum hispidum as a medicinal plant. The high use of this plant could be explained for its wealth of secondary metabolites.
