Abstract
Justicia gendarussa belongs to family Acanthaceae is commonly known as Nili-Nirgundi. It is traditionally used to treat various diseases such as the wound healing, antioxidant, anti-proliferative etc. The aim of the present study was to investigate the qualitative and quantitative estimation of phytoconstituents of aerial parts of alcoholic extract of Justicia gendarussa. Physiochemical constant, preliminary phytochemical analysis for carbohydrates, glycosides, alkaloids, flavonoid, phenols, tannins and saponin and quantitative analysis for total flavonoid and total alkaloid content were carried out by standard procedures. The physiochemical constituents like total ash and acid insoluble ash, water soluble ash were found to be 14.25%w/w, 05%w/w, 7.30%w/w respectively. The results confirmed the presence of carbohydrates, glycosides, alkaloids, flavonoid, phenols, tannins and saponin and the plant extracts shows higher yield of total phenolic content and also flavonoid content.
