Antioxidant Activity of Some Indian Medicinal Plants

[摘要] Methanolic extracts of 4 Indian medicinal plants, traditionally used in different ailments, were evaluated for antioxidant activity using DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl) radical scavenging assay. Among the extracts, C. lanceolatus significantly decreased the absorption at 10 µg/ml indicating that it is effective even at a very low concentration.
