Abstract

The plants isolated bioactive constituents are utilized as complementary and alternative medicine in various disorders. The present study was designed to evaluate chief photochemical constituents of and its anti-oxidative aptitude against free radicals. The extract of the plant was subjected to screened for phytochemicals classes, and measurement of anti-oxidant activity. Different in vitro anti-oxidant assay parameters include DPPH assay, reducing power assay, hydrogen peroxide scavenging assay, total phenolic content estimation, and total flavanoid content estimation. Our results indicated the presence of various flavanoids, alkaloids etc. Various antioxidant assay exhibited significant correlation with TPC and TFC and renders both plants are with therapeutic potential against free- radical-associated oxidative damages.
