Abstract

Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate the presence of phytochemical and to determine the total flavonoid contents in extract of Chukrasia tabularis. Methods: The plant under evaluation is Chukrasia tabularis, a plant of Meliaceae, which is usually found, scattered in evergreen rainforest and deciduous forest. The leaves of the selected plants were removed from the plants and then washed under running tap water to remove dust. The plant samples were then air dried for few days and the leaves were crushed into powder and stored in polythene bags for use. Results: The study concluded that the leaf extract have potential bioactive substances that may be used to formulate new and most potent drugs to overcome the problem of disease resistance. Conclusion: The total flavonoid content in extract of Chukrasia tabularis was found to be 180 mcg respectively.
