Nowadays plants are the traditional product that has little or no side effects in modern medicine. The Thunbergia fragrans belong to the family Acanthaceae which contains more biologically active phytoconstituents. The plant leaves were extracted with different solvents including ethanol, aqueous, hexane and ethyl acetate. These extracts have been subjected to phytochemical study. The results of the qualitative phytochemical analysis indicate that the ethanol extracts provided more phytoconstituents. The phytochemical quantitative analysis showed that the ethanol had a higher amount of flavonoid. The ethanol extract of Thunbergia fragrans contained antioxidant and antibacterial activity. The GCMS study for the compound identification was studi
