Abstract

The paper evaluates the antioxidant activity of extract of rhizomes of Paris polyphylla Smith. The present study was undertaken to appraise the non enzymatic antioxidant properties of Paris polyphylla.  It is an important medicinal herb widely used in traditional medicines such as antihelmintic, antispasmodic, digestive, stomachic, expectorant, vermifuge and antidote against snake bite and also has the biological properties like anticancer, antimicrobial, anti-tumour, cytotoxicity and steroidal etc. The antioxidant activity of this plant was assessed by 2, 2-diphenyl picryl hydrazyl (DPPH), Total Phenolic content, SOD scavenging activity and total reducing power. The main objective of this study is, to evaluate the level of non enzymatic antioxidant properties of P. polyphylla that will be a potential source of natural antioxidant and a therapeutic agent in preventing the oxidative stress related diseases.
