Abstract
Adina cordifolia leaf was investigated for its phytochemical screening and antioxidant activity. The plant extracts were screened for presence of flavonoids, carbohydrate, alkaloid, saponin, phenol, tannins, phlobatannins, terpenoids, cardiac glycosides. Total flavonoid content, phenols content was estimated. Antioxidant activity was determined using nitric oxide scavenging assay, DPPH assay, hydrogen peroxide scavenging and ferric reducing methods, also MIC was calculated against a set of bacteria (S. aureus, B. subtilis, E. coli, K. pneumonia).
