Abstract :
Albizia amara is traditional and ethno medicinal plant for medicine. The presence of phyto-constituents in plant acts as resource for the treatment of several endemic diseases such as anti-cancer, anti-hyperlipidimic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, analgesic and antioxidant activities. The aim of the present study is to quantify the secondary components.. Phytochemical screening of Albizia amara was done using organic solvents such aqueous, ethanol, chloroform and benzene extracts of Albizia amara leaves. The study revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, glycosides, carbohydrates, phenols, quinines, betacyanins, saponins, tannins, oils and lipids in Albizia amara leaf extract.
