Abstract: In the present study crude seed extracts of Persia Americana Mill (Avocado) was prepared using petroleum ether, methanol, ethyl acetate and aqueous solvents. The phytochemical screening of different crude extracts were studied for the presence of alkaloids, carbohydrates, protein, phenols, tannins, saponin, triterpenoids, glycosides, phytosterols, gums and mucilage. The crude seed extracts were pharmacologically evaluated for its antiinflammatory efficacy. The results obtained clearly demonstrated that out of the screened crude extracts, petroleum ether extract possess better pharmacological activities. From the GC-MS and FTIR analysis of petroleum ether extract 5 major compounds were identified and considered to play a key role in the overall pharmacological efficacy of avocado seed extract.
