Abstract :

Objective: Antioxidants or inhibitors of oxidation are compounds which retard or prevent the oxidation and in general prolong the life of the oxidizable matter. So, the objective of our work is to investigate the antioxidant activity using ethanolic extract of whole plant of Grewia flavescens.
Methods: The extract was screened for possible antioxidant activities by free radical scavenging activity (DPPH) and by lipid peroxidation method.
Results: The results showed that the plant possessed antioxidant properties including radical scavenging, and Percentage inhibition by lipid peroxidation. The extract of Grewia flavescens was effective against oxidant activity and the results were almost close to standard.
Conclusions: This study suggests that Grewia flavescens extracts exhibit great potential for antioxidant activity and may be useful for medicinal functions.
Keywords: Grewia flavescens, antioxidant, Plant extract.
