摘要

In the present study the herb, Sansevieria roxburghiana was selected to evaluate its antioxidant properties of methanol, acetone and ethyl acetate extracts of leaves using DPPH and NO radical scavenging activity method which showed a significant percentage of inhibition in a dose dependent manner with BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) as a standard reducing agent. The result showed that the different solvent extracts of S. roxburghiana exhibited good antioxidant effect and strong free radical scavenging effects on free radicals and oxidants (DPPH, NO).
