Abstract:
Aim: To study in-vitro antioxidant activity of Calotropis procera.
Methodology: The evaluation of antioxidant activity was done using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging activity via Double Beam UV-Visible Spectrophotometer.
Result: The IC50 values in leaves, fruits and flowers of Calotropis procera were found to be 16.08, 16.06 and 10.31μg/mL respectively.
Conclusion: The results explore the strong antioxidant activity of Calotropis procera which can be harvested by medical and pharmaceutical industries for curing several diseases.
Keywords: Calotropis procera, Antioxidant activity, DPPH, Diseases
