Abstract:
Every part of Annona squamosa possesses medicinal property and have gained organic chemist’s and biochemist’s attention because of their novel structure and wide range of bioactivity. The principle objective of the study was to access the phytochemical estimation of chemical constituents in Annona squamosa leaves. The study involves preliminary phytochemical analysis of ethanolic extract of Annona squamosa which was screened for the presence of various phytoconstituents using standard procedure. The phytochemistry revealed the presence of many phytochemicals such as alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, phenols and triterpenoids, where rutin (flavonoid compound) was found to be responsible for the analgesic activity of Annona squamosa.
