Ixora coccinea Linn., an evergreen shrub that is native to India and is a member of the Rubiaceae family, is sometimes referred to as the "jungle of geranium" and red ixora. The flowers, leaves, roots, and stems are used in the Indian Traditional Medical System, or Ayurveda, and in many folk medicines to treat a variety of illnesses. The current study provides some insight into the antioxidant properties of several Ixora coccinea plant extracts. Ixora coccinea flowers were extracted using a solvent with increasing polarity (petroleum ether, chloroform, ethyl acetate, and methanol), and several extracts were examined for antioxidant and phytochemical properties.

As a result of this investigation, phytochemicals including flavonoids (12.90%), saponins (10.95%), tannins (13.84%), alkaloids (10.04%), glycosides (0.99%), and phenols (4.99%) were detected in the methanolic extracts of Ixora coccinea flowers. When the extracts were concentrated to 400 μg/ml, the ethyl acetate and methanolic ones demonstrated notable antioxidant activity. Additionally, the presence of phenolic chemicals may be the reason for the antioxidant activity demonstrated by the various extracts. In general, the pharmacological effects stated earlier were successfully imparted by Ixora coccinea extracts in methanol and ethyl acetate.
