Abstract
The petroleum ether, benzene, chloroform, acetone and ethanol extract of Thevetia neriifolia (Apocynaceae) leafs were investigated for free radical scavenging properties. The antioxidant activities of extracts were investigated using 2,2-diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay. Butylated hydroxytoluene and L-ascorbic acid were employed as a positive control. All extracts showed DPPH radical scavenging activities, but among them petroleum ether extract shows maximum activity as compared to other extracts.
