Abstract
The genus Phyllanthus (Euphorbiaceae) is widely used in the Indian system of traditional medicine and is reported to have various biological activities. In this study, the polyphenol and flavonoid contents of P. acidus, P. emblica and P. fraternus were quantitated. The fruits of P. acidus, P. emblica and P. fraternus were collected and shade dried. The shade dried plant material were extracted with 95% methanol under sonication and the antioxidant activities were investigated using in vitro assays along with the determination of phytochemical constituents (total polyphenol and total flavonoid). Their ability to salvage were extensively investigated with in vitro DPPH• scavenging assays. The extract exhibited significant antioxidant properties and the observed biological activities in this study provide scientific validation of ethno medicinal use of this plant.
