The present study was carried out to characterize the bioactive constituents present in extracts of Ipomoea Indica. Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) analysis in various solvents extracts and to establish its antioxidant potential. The plants samples were collected from Islamabad, Pakistan. FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of various functional group i.e. carboxylic acid, amines, phenol, aromatic compounds. Phytochemical analysis confirmed the presence of phytochemical constituents i.e. flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins, volatile oils and reducing sugar which are known to exhibit medicinal as well as physiological activities. Methanolic extracts of anthraquinones and steroids showed negative results.
