Abstract
Diospyros is an important genus of Ebenaceae family with more than 500 species. These have drawn the attention of investigators by the presence of valuable phytochemicals in them. They have proved their utility in the amelioration of various ailments. The present study constitutes the quantification of major bioactive compounds viz., alkaloids, flavonoids, phenolics, steroids and terpenoids from Diospyros chloroxylon an endemic species. The pharmacological potential of any plant is being determined based on its chemical constituents. The significant quantities of bioactive compounds quantified in Diospyros chloroxylon rates it an useful species having antioxidative and antibacterial potential.
