Abstract
The present study was under taken to evaluate the In vitro antioxidant property and phytochemical constituents of different solvent extracts of Actiniopteris radiata. The scavenging activity of DPPH, H2O2 and reducing power including phenols, flavonoids, alkaloids and tannin contents were determined. The extracts exhibited scavenging activity towards all radicals tested due to the presence of relatively high alkaloids and flavonoids content. The present study suggests that Actiniopteris radiata is endowed with antioxidant phytochemicals and could serve as a base for future drugs
