cedeodarin, dihydromyricetin, cedrin, cedrinoside.
54. • Leaves: the needles of Cedrus deodara of
stigmasterol, oleanolic acid,
parahydroxybenzaldehyde, syringaresinol,
daucosterol, p- hydroxybenzoic acid, gallicin and
gallic acid, ethy6l stearate, ethyl laurate, beta
setosterol, shikimic acid, methyl coniferin, ferulic
acid beta- glucoside.

bark extracts of cedrus deodara shows zones ofinhibition in
staphylococcus aureus, e.coli and aspergillus niger from extracts of
