The aim of the study was to investigate the X-ray diffraction pattern analysis and phytochemical compounds present in fruit part of Momordica charantia extract with petroleum ether, ethanol and chloroform as solvents. The phytochemical screening of plant extracts revealed the presence of steroids, terpenoids, alkaloids, flavonoids, anthraquinone, quinine, phenolic compounds, carbohydrates and proteins. These phytochemicals have potent antifungal efficiency against selected infectious micro-organisms.
