This study aimed to evaluate the Bio-active components and the toxicity of the PSAU's Aglibut Sweet Tamarind(Tamarindus indica). Using the TLC Method, it was found that Bio-active components present on both leaf and bark extracts were flavanoids, alkaloids, saponins, tannins, phenolic compounds, steroids and anthraquinonea. On the other hand, sugar is present in the tamarind leaf extract. For the Cytotoxic Evaluation, the brine shrimp assay was used The tamarind bark extract has a higher mortality rate as compared to the tamarind leaf extract. The LC50 of the leaf extract on the 9 hours was 5.556 mg/L while its bark was 1.286 mg/L which means it has a potential to be cytotoxic due to its concentration that killed the 50% of the brine shrimp population.
