Abstract:

In the present work, methanolic extract from the leaves of Rauwolfia serpentina were analyzed phytochemically for the presence of flavonoids. Phytochemical studies revealed the presence of flavonoidal structure, by using chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques, 3,5,7,4’- tetrahydroxy flavone i.e., Kaempherol is identified. Antioxidant potential was determined by DPPH method.
