Abstract
Plant-derived chemicals play an important role in protection against invading microbes that cause many infectious diseases and also found to be beneficial for therapeutics in prevention of many other noninfectious ailments. This research involves the investigation of such bioactive chemicals using leaves of two common Tamarix species. Qualitative and quantitative analysis using four different solvents showed methanol has the best extraction potential followed by acetone, ethanol and chloroform. Tamarix indica was found to contain most of the metabolites in higher quantity as compared to Tamarix passernioides.
