In Vitro Antioxidant Activity And Phytochemical Properties Of Methanol, Ethanol And Hexane Extracts Of Azadirachta Indica Leaves.

ABSTRACT Azadirachta indica, commonly known as Neem, has attracted worldwide prominence in recent years as a cynosure of modern medicine owing to its wide range of medicinal properties. This study was carried out to investigate the phytochemical properties and antioxidant activity of the multi-solvent (methanol, ethanol and hexane) extracts of the leaves of Azadirachta indica of Meliaceae family. The extracts were investigated for phytochemical constituents such as tannins, saponins, alkaloids, total flavonoids, total phenols and proanthocyanidin, while the in vitro antioxidant activity was de…
