Abstract: Prosopis cineraria (L.) Druce is an important medicinal plant of Thar Desert of Rajasthan. The present study deals with the phytochemical analysis of constituents of methanolic extract of leaves and quantitative analysis of total phenol by Folin- Ciocalteu reagent method and flavonoids determination by using Aluminum chloride colorimetric method. Alkaloids, glycosides, steroids, carbohydrates, phenolic compounds, saponins, terpenoid, resins, flavonoids, tannins, protein, and amino acid were present in phytochemical analysis. Total phenolic content in methanolic extract of the leaves of Prosopis cineraria was found to be 530 mg/g and total flavonoid content was found to be 198.4 mg/g.
