Abstract

In the present study, the antioxidant property of ethanolic extract of Leucas aspera has been investigated. The bioactivity of the L. aspera extract was assessed by DPPH (1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) free radical scavenging method. Extract showed significant DPPH free radical scavenging effect when compared with standard drug - ascorbic acid. IC50 value of ascorbic acid and ethanolic extract was found to be 1.25 μg/ml and 99.58 μg/ml, respectively. The IC50 value of extract indicated significant antioxidant potential of the plant.
