ABSTRACT
Helicteres isora is recognized by its medicinal properties and its used in herbal medicine. The present study was designed for screening Total Phenolic Content (TPC) and Total Flavonoid Content (TFC) in two different solvents. Out of the two solvents TPC and TFC of Helicteres isora, methanolic extract was found to be the highest i.e. 196.66±0.503 mg/g GAE for TPC and 137.33±4.041 mg/g Rutin for TFC respectively. The results support the use of Helicteres isora as for therapeutic use and may have a significant amount of antioxidant activity.
Keywords: Total Phenolic Content, Phytochemicals, Methanolic, Galic Acid, Rutin, Folin-Ciocalteu.
