Terminalia chebula is widely grown an important medicinal plant. The present work deals with phytochemical screening, UV and IR spectroscopy of ethanolic seeds extract of Terminalia chebula. In phytochemical screening the extract shows the presence of flavonoids, glycosides, phytosterols, terpenoids, phenolic compound, carbohydrates, proteins, tannins, gum and mucilage. The UV and IR spectroscopy of ethanolic seeds extract of Terminalia chebula shows the presence of Carbonyl group (ketone), α-β unsaturated amide and lactam, aromatic nature of compound, sulfur compound, nitro compound, flavones, fistin, quercetin, NaQSA (Sodium Salts of Quercetin 5’ Sulfonic Acid),, myricetin, chalcones and anthocyanin types of flavonoids. The above mention bioactive compound are mainly contributed in medicinal utility of the plant.
