Objective: The objective of the study is to find out the phytochemical compounds and antioxidant activity of Ocimum tenuiflorum and Ocimum sactrum leaves. The various plant extracts were prepared and the analysis was carried out using the extract having higher phytochemical compounds. Carbohydrate, protein, alkaloids, flavonoid’s, phenols, saponins, tannins and glycoside’s was carried for both qualitatively and quantitatively in the medicinal plants. The result obtained from present study provides a confirmation that hydroethanolic extract of O. tenuiflorum and O. sactrum leaves contains various phytochemical analysis, which justifies the use of the sample as traditional medicine for treatment of various disease. The antioxidant analysis was carried out for both enzymic and non-enzymic, which forecasts the scavenging activity of the sample. The finding of study suggests that this plant leaves could be a possible source of natural antioxidant that could have great importance as remedial agents in preventing various diseases. The results obtained were much hopeful, but scientific validation is necessary before being put into practice.Keywords
