Abstract

The current investigation dealt with pharmacological study of Coccinia indica (wild). For past several years, various medicinal plants were increasingly studied for the treatment of different ailments. The normal variety of C. indica was extensively used for home remedies and household purposes. But the wild variety of C. indica tastes bitter and showed good pharmacological activity. The current study revealed that ABTS assay was shown more scavenging activity than DPPH assay. The methanol extract of C. indica showed effective antioxidant activity than aqueous extract, but the property of anti inflammatory, aqueous extract of showed C. indica showed better anti inflammatory activity.
