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.
