Abstract
The present study deals with the investigation of phytochemical screening, anti-oxidant activity and HPLC analysis of methanol and petroleum ether extract of Cordia diffusa leaves. The invitro anti-oxidant activity of Cordia diffusa leaf samples were investigated spectrophotometrically using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). Methanolic extract showed significant anti-oxidant activity compared to petroleum ether extract. Determination of phytochemical constituents like phenols, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, alkaloids, steroids, terpenoids, anthocyanin, betacyanin and glycoside tests were carried out. HPLC chromatogram supported the presence of 1–8 phytocompounds. In conclusion, Cordia diffusa leaves might be used as a potential antioxidant source in pharmaceutical and food industries.
