Abstract (2. Language): 
Albizia saman is very important medicinal plant, it is used in many ayurvedic preparations. The medicinal plant havinganti diarrheal, anti-fungal activity etc. In the current research work carried out to find the phytochemical constituents and antioxidant property of various extracts of Albizia saman leaves were performed. The leaves were shad dried and powdered. The powdered leaves were defatted with Petroleum Ether in Soxhlet apparatus and then extracted with absolute methanol for 24 hours separately in Soxhlet apparatus. The results of preliminary phytochemical screening of the methanolic e revealed the presence of alkaloids, glycosides, steroids, flavonoids, saponins, tannins, carbohydrates and reducing sugar. The antioxidant activity of the methanolic extract was measured in terms of reducing power and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging capacity and the total antioxidant capacity of the methanolic extract of Albizia saman were determined by phosphomolybdenum method, the result shows the highest peak of free radical scavenging and antioxidant activity. The result supports the use of medicine for anti-diabetic activity.
