Objective: The present investigation aimed to study the secondary metabolite profiling of stem of Indigofera viscosa Lam. Methods: The stem was extracted by successive method using different solvents of varying polarity. The extracts were tested for screening of secondary metabolites, characterization of the compounds were carried out using FTIR. Results& Discussion: Alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, steroids, triterpenoids, glycosides, saponins, gum and mucilages and fixed oils were found in different extracts. Ethanol and water extracts showed significant results with respect of secondary metabolites in screening. Significant level of phenolic content and flavonoid content was observed in quantification assays. Various functional groups such as amine, alcohols, phenols, carboxylic acids, alkynes, etc. were identified through FTIR analysis. conclusion: The results of the present study will be helpful to chemically standardize the plant and it will be useful in tapping the medicinal uses of Indigofera viscosa.
