ABSTRACT

In the present study, the leaves of Alangium salvifolium were used for phytochemical extraction using water and ethanol and the extracts were subjected to quantitative and antioxidant activity analysis of some phytochemicals. The presence of Alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols, and tannins was revealed by primary phytochemical screening which showed increased contents of secondary metabolites as assayed using the standard quantitative procedure. The antioxidants were assayed using well-established methods that include the DPPH, Reducing power, ABTS, Nitric oxide radicals, and hydroxyl radicals. The plant extracts of showed the uplift ability. Antioxidant activity was found to highly in a therapeutic in nature. The above findings indicate that Alangium salvifolium possess free radicals scavenging potential that can be exploited for the treatment of various free radicals mediated disorders.
