ABSTRACT:
In vitro antioxidant activity of Glochidion zeylanicum has been investigated by DPPH [1,1-diphenyl, 2-picryl-hydrazyl] free radical and Hydroxyl radical scavenging activity. The ethanolic extracts of Glochidion zeylanicum has showed the significant free radical scavenging property by inhibiting the DPPH free radical and was evaluated by comparing with standard Curcumin and asocorbic acid. The ability of Glochidion zeylanicum leaf extracts to inhibit the hydroxyl free radical production has also been evaluated and compared with standards Vitamin E and Catechin, which found to very promising results.
