Objective: To investigate the total phenolics, antioxidant , antimicrobial and cytotoxic, activities of ethanolic and methanolic leaves extracts of Spatholobus parviflorus (Roxb.ex Dc.) kuntze. Methods: The current study was focussed on broad parameters namely total phenolics, phytochemical analysis, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis and antioxidant properties in order to characterize the alcoholic extracts of Spatholobus parviflorus as apotential free radical quencher. Results: The phytochemical screening of alcoholic extracts of Spaholobus parviflorus showed the presence of various secondary metabolites. Spatholobs parviflorus was proved to be an effective radical scavenger in all antioxidant assays. The gas chromatographicmass spectrometry analysis confirmed the presence of bioactive compounds in varying percentage. Conclusion: These results suggest that the ethanolic extract of Spaholobus parviflorus has potential of antioxidant,antibacterial and cytotoxic activity that support the ethnopharmacological uses of this plant.The remarkable activity showed by the plant extract could be attributed to the synergic effect of the active compounds present in it.
