The study revealed that different concentrations of the extract exhibited significant Anti-oxidant activities in a dose dependent manner at a concentration of 400mg/ml respectively and well compared with standard drug. Thus, it could that due to the presence of chemical constituents present in the extracts have well prospective for the management of Oxidation.This Knowledge will be useful in finding more potent above all those activitie from the natural resources for the clinical development of activities and therapeutics.
