INVITRO EVALUATION OF ANTIOXIDANT PROPERTIES OF COMMICARPUS CHINESIS

The present investigation deals with the extraction of roots of Commicarpus chinensis, preliminary phytochemical screening and evaluation of antioxidant activity using various in-vitro methods. The roots were subjected to extraction by soxhelation for ether and ethanol. The water extracts was obtained from maceration process.
The extracts were subjected to evaluation for antioxidant activity by DPPH free radical scavenging method, nitric oxide radical scavenging method and reducing power determination. The extracts obtained were subjected to preliminary phytochemical screening for detection of chemical constituents present in them. The preliminary phytochemical screening of crude extract revealed the presence of carbohydrates, amino acids, steroids, glycosides, saponin, tannins & phenolic compounds and flavonoids.

The in~vitro antioxidant activity of extracts was determine by DPPH, nitric oxide (NO) activity and reducing power assay the ethanol and water extracts shows significant results.
