Evaluation of Antioxidant Potential of Stem and Leaf Extracts of Himalayan Tinospora cordifolia Hook.f. & Thomson

Background: Medicinal plants are considered a rich source of ingredients, which can be used in drug development and synthesis. Tinospora cordifolia (Wild.) Hook.f. & Thomson, commonly known as guduchi, heart-leaved moonseed giloya is herbaceous vine the family Menispermaceae, has several beneficial properties including antioxidant activity. Aim: The present study was carried out to analyze activity leaf stem extracts by using DPPH (1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) ABTS (2,2´-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)) free radical scavenging assays. Materials Methods: Dried powdered leaves T. were extracted with methanol. Ascorbic acid taken standard. Total phenolic content estimated Folin-ciocalteu's reagent while total flavonoid aluminium chloride find correlation polyphenols assay methanolic showed highest compared assay. Results: Methanolic extract higher along extract. Conclusion: exhibited more than regards all parameters analyzed.
