Abstract
In this study, the antioxidant activity of the leaf extracts of P.thonningii was evaluated using the DPPH free radical scavenging assay. The butanol fraction of P.thonningii exhibited the higher activity (EC50=15.39±0.01 ?g ml??), while crude extract of P.thonningii had the activity (EC50=10.75±0.10 ?g ml??). These results suggested strong antioxidant activity potentials of the plant.
