Abstract

Objective: In the present study, screening for some flavonoids (aglycone and glycoside) in tamarix aphylla by using thin layer chromatography and high-performance liquid chromat-ography. Methods: The leaves of

Tamarix.aphylla was extracted by soxhlet with Ethylacetate and then with the ethanol /water 90%. The flavonoids were detected by Analyticl thin layer chromatography using standards and by HPLC. Results:Three flavonoid aglycones were extracted with ethylacetate (Kaempferol .Quercetin , Isorhamnetin) and one flavonoid glycoside (Rutin) was detected in the ethanol /water 90% extract. Conclusion: From this study can be conclude that tamarix aphylla is a promising plant for many flavonoid compounds that have many pharmacological actions
