One significant medicinal herb is Scoparia dulcis "Chinigura" is the local name of the plant in Bangladesh. The current study examines the ethanolic seed extract of this plant using UV and FT-IR spectroscopy as well as phytochemical screening. The plant has anti-inflammatory, anti-malarial, antidiabetic, anti-cancer, antioxidant qualities. Phytosterol, terpenoid, Flavonoid, phenolic compound, glycoside, carbohydrate, protein, tannin, gum and mucilage, alkaloid, saponin, anthoquinone are all present in the extract according to phytochemical screening. Sulfur compounds, carbonyl group (ketone), NaQSA the Sodium Salts of Quercetin 5' Sulfonic Acid, α,β unsaturated amide, nitro compound, lactams, flavones, aromaticcompound, fistin, myricetin,quercetin, chalcones, and anthocyanin types of flavonoids are all detected by the UV and FT-IR spectroscopy of the plant's leaf extract from ethanol.
