The fruit of Borassus flabellifer Linn. belonging to family Areaceae reported to be posses the antioxidant activity. The extracts have been also evaluated for antioxidant activity by using in-vitro methods DPPH (2, 2-Diphenyl-1 picryl hydrazyl) and ABTS (2, 2-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzo-thiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) assay. The phytochemical analysis carried out revealed the presence of saponins, tannins, flavonoids, carbohydrates, amino acids and phenolic compounds in the extracts.Keywords

Borassus flabellifer Linn. (Areaceae) is a tall tree (palm) growing in sandy soil and attaining a height of 20-30 meters with straight trunk. The extraction was carried out around 300 gm of powder was subjected to successive hot continuous extraction (Soxhelt) with petroleum ether, ethyl acetate, chloroform, methanol, chloroform-water. The Phytochemical analysis carried out revealed the presence of Saponins, tannins, flavonoids, carbohydrates, amino acids and phenolic compounds in the extracts. For assessing in-vitro antioxidant activity total antioxidant capacity and determination of total phenolic content methods were used. In total antioxidant capacity aqueous extract was found a significant antioxidant activity. In determination of total phenolic content alcoholic extract shown highly significant result.

Abutilon indicum belonging to family Malvaceae is distributed throughout number of tropical and subtropical areas and subtropical zones and has been used for various disorders in traditional and folk medicine. The plant is used as demulcent, aphrodisiac, laxative, diuretic, pulmonary and sedative. The leaves are used as astringent. Bark is used as diuretic. Seeds are used as laxative, demulcent and expectorant.
The plant is known to possess various active constituents like carbohydrates, steroids, alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, starch, tannins and Phenolic compounds. The plant is screened for hepatoprotective, hypoglycemic, immunomodulatory, analgesic, antimicrobial, antimalarial, antifertility and wound healing activity. The present review is therefore, an effort to give a detailed survey of the literature on the microscopical, phytochemical and pharmacological properties of Abutilon indicum.
