Zusammenfassung:Being encouraged by the results of qualitative analysis followed by quantification studies of antioxidants found in various extracts of Cyanotis fasciculata, the present study was designed to assess the free radical scavenging activity of 70% hydro alcoholic (AE) and methanolic extracts (ME) of this plant through DPPH and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities, in addition to ferric reducing assay were performed and IC50 values were calculated. Our results enunciated promising antioxidant potential of both the extracts.
