- Abstract
Combretum indicum (L.) DeFilipps., also known as Quisqualis indica, belongs to the combretaceae family. Literature suggests the hardy nature and predominant presence of medically important phytometabolites within these plants. This study aimed to identify the phytochemical constituents of the Combretum indicum flower extracts. Flower extracts were prepared using Aqueous, ethanol, n-Hexane and petroleum ether as the solvents of choice. Qualitative phytochemical analysis indicated the presence of phytometabolites including alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, phenols, quinines, steroids, saponins etc. Among these solvents ethanolic flower extract showed better results. The quantitative analysis of flower extract indicated the presence good quantity of flavonoids and phenols respectively. Anti-oxidant activity was tested using DPPH scavenging assay. Characterization of phytochemicals was done by using UV-Visible spectrophotometry, FTIR analysis and thin layer chromatography.
