Abstract

In the human body, free radicals and other reactive oxygen species are created throughout a variety of physiological and biochemical activities. An increase in these free radical generation can lead to oxidative damage to biomolecules (including lipids, proteins, and DNA), which can eventually result in many chronic diseases.Plethora of antioxidants found in plants serve to provide protection against diseases linked to free radicalsThus this study aims at comparing antioxidant potential of three plants Boerhaavia diffusaK. galanga&Basella alba.The plant material was collected & extracted with different solvents & further assed for qualitative & quantitative study by standard procedures. Results revealed that Hydroalcoholic extract yielded maximum amount of phytochemicals. Also, the TPC & TFC was observed to be highest for Basella alba leaves extract. Further the IC 50 value for Basella alba was lowest it can be concluded that leaves of Basella alba have better antioxidant potential as compared to Roots of Boerhaavia diffusa and Rhizome of Kaempferia galanga.
