Abstract

The study was aimed at evaluating the in vitro antioxidant activity of ethanol extract of leaves of Glochidionellipticum(family: Euphorbiaceae). When compared with ethanolic extract methanolic extract showed higher antioxidant effect.The antioxidant properties were evaluated using different antioxidant tests such as DPPH scavenging activity1000 µg/ml showed 69.34 % inhibition than standard 92.37%., hydrogen peroxide scavenging1000 µg/ml showed 86.29 % inhibition than standard 72.29%., ferrous reducing activity and nitric oxide 200 µg/ml showed 73.19 % inhibition than standard 76.35%.The various Antioxidant activity activities were compared to synthetic drugs such as ascorbic acid.
