abstract
Azadirachta indica (Neem), a prominent medicinal plant, was investigated for its phytochemical composition using ethanol extracts of young stems. A battery of qualitative phytochemical tests confirmed the presence of alkaloids, phenolic compounds, tannins, phytosterols, and carboxylic acids. Carbohydrates, flavonoids, and triterpenoids were absent. The high detection of phytosterols underscores the therapeutic value of neem’s young stem. These findings contribute to expanding its pharmacological relevance and support further biochemical characterization.
