Abstract

The present work was designed to study the antioxidant potential of various parts of Carrisa carandas using different assay systems. C. carandas is a semi-wild shrubby plant species found in Assam (India). The species is being used in various traditional medicinal practices in Assam and other parts of NE India. The methanol extract of the fruits of C. carandas showed highest radical scavenging activity against DPPH (1, 1diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl). Ethanol extract of the fruits showed highest radical scavenging activity against H2O2. The study revealed that the fruits, leaves and seeds extracts of C. carandas possesses potent antioxidant activity. The antioxidant potential was determined to be in the following order: Fruit > Leaf > Seed extracts.
