Weeds produces diverse phytochemicals as defense mechanism as they are easy accessible. Many species of weeds remain understudied offering opportunities for new drug discoveries. Some weeds are already used in traditional medicine. Potential herbs have been the main focus of the chemical industry because, new bioactive molecules are critically needed. Phytochemicals from weeds can act as new agricultural or pharmaceutical products. The phytochemicals like flavonoids, alkaloids, amino acids, glycosides, saponins, steroids, tannins and many others present in the plants are the great reservoirs of many new and potential drugs. Phytochemical analysis is now acted as the essential part towards the discovery of useful and novel drugs. The progress of human beings has been associated with the use of plant resources for their livelihood. A present study includes the concise review of a common weed of agriculture i.e. Celosia argentea which can be further investigate for its chemicals.
