Padmalatha Rai %J Journal of Basic and Clinical Pharmacy %D 2011 %I %X Antioxidative potential of methanolic leaf extract of Holarrhena antidysenterica was evaluated using hydroxyl radical, superoxide anion scavenging and reducing power assays. The antioxidant activity of the methanol extract increased in a concentration-dependent manner. The extract showed significant reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging activity in all in vitro antioxidant assays and contained high level of total phenolic content. %K Medicinal plant %K antioxidant %K reactive oxygen species %K nutraceutical %U http://www.jbclinpharm.com/Volume2Issue4Articles/PDF/JBCP_V2_I4_Pr_58.pdf
