Abstract : In the Indian traditional Ayurvedic medical system, plants from the genus Ixora are used to treat a wide range of illnesses. The study extracted the Ixora coccinea plant, analyzed the plant extracts both qualitatively and quantitatively, and measured the antioxidant activity using the DPPH method. Initial qualitative phytochemical screening provides an indication of the herb's potential for medicinal use. Ixora coccinea shows promise as a potential therapeutic lead as drug resistance becomes a greater concern in contemporary pharmacotherapeutics. Research on this flower is essential since its bioactive components may offer substitute treatment alternatives for treating drug-resistant infections and a range of human illnesses. Ixora coccinea phytochemical analysis is crucial to examine its therapeutic qualities and confirm that it works as a natural cure. The results of the study's screening for bioactive components that give plants their biologically active characteristics guaranteed the presence of the following phytochemical parameters: amino acids, phenols, alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, coumarins, tannin, saponin, anthocyanin, and anthraquinone.
