Abstract

Flavonoids are polyphenol compounds possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, hepato protective, anti-thrombotic, anti-carcinogenic and ant-diabetic activity, occur commonly in plants such Cassia obtusifolia. The powdered leaves of Cassia obtusifolia was extracted with ethanol solvent. The ethanolic extract was phytochemicaly screened and Chromatographic fractionations of the ethanolic extract gave compound I. The structure of this compound was deduced on the basis of its IR, UV,1H NMR and MS. Compound 1was screened for its antimicrobial activity and the results were exhibited activity against all tested organisms except for Bacillus subtilis.
