Abstract

Antioxidant potential of different plant parts of Tinospora cordifolia and Argemone maxicana were determined by using DPPH assay and ascorbic acid as standard compound (IC₅₀: 10 μg/ml). The maximum antioxidant potential in A. Maxicana was found in leaf (IC₅₀: 29μg/ml) followed by stem (IC₅₀: 95μg/ml), Seed (IC₅₀: 97μg/ml) and root (IC₅₀: 111μg/ml). In T. cordifolia leaf (IC₅₀: 37μg/ml) showed maximum antioxidant activity then the roots (IC₅₀: 172 μg/ml).
