Abstract: Phytochemicals are naturally occurring compounds in plants with various health benefits, including antioxidant properties that protect against oxidative stress linked to aging and diseases. This study aimed to identify and quantify phytochemicals in a methanolic whole plant extract and evaluate its antioxidant activity using FRAP and DPPH assays. Qualitative analysis detected saponins, alkaloids, phenols, steroids, and flavonoids, indicating diverse biological activities. Quantitative analysis revealed total phenol content of 0.45 mg/g (gallic acid equivalents) and total flavonoid content of 0.74 mg/g (quercetin equivalents), suggesting significant health benefits.
