Lagerstroemia parviflora Roxb (L. parviflora) is utilised in numerous systems of medicine for several diseases, in addition to its ancient historical applications. Phytochemicals are a term used to describe the bioactive molecules generated by plants. Phenols, flavonoids, tannins, saponins, alkaloids, fixed oil, and lipids were found in the phytochemical constituents.
