Alternative medicine has become popular these days as it is gaining practices across the globe. Our studies aim to detect phytocompounds and biochemical activities of aqueous, dichloro methane, ethyl acetate and methanolic extracts of Terminalia chebula. Antioxidant, flurorescence and anitmicrobial studies were carried out for the phytocompounds. Methonolic extracts at 517nm exhibited maximum activity with 82% of free radical scavenging property. Methanolic extract also showed highest antimicrobial activity towards S.aureus of 7mm and S.pyogenes of 6mm respectiviely. Hence, it can be concluded that Terminalia chebula may be a promising candidate in pharmaceuticals and future medicine. https://biomedpharmajournal.org/vol12no3/phytochemical-analysis-and-biochemical-characterization-f-terminalia-chebula-extracts-for-its-medicinal-use/ Combretaceae DPPH Fluorescence Phytochemical Terminalia Chebula
